What to Know About the Tigers
On paper, the Tigers are one of the best teams in the country. They have a high-powered offense that ranks No. 6 in yards per game, averaging 475. 8, and is the No. 22-ranked scoring offense with 33.9 points per game. However, in their losses, the struggle has been converting long drives into points, and is one of the main reasons for the struggles this season.
Defensively, the Tigers have struggled as of late in the secondary, especially in terms of giving up chunk plays, but still have the best pass rush in the country. Led by Princewill Umanmielen who has 8.5 sacks, LSU is taking down opposing quarterbacks 12.22 percent of the time.
