Against two of their top opponents this season, LSU has had an offensive boom in the second half. Against Florida State, when LSU could hardly get anything moving offensively through three quarters, the Tigers marched 75 yards down the field to score in less than two minutes. Against Mississippi State this past weekend, LSU was scoreless until the end of the second quarter and entered the half down 13-7 against Mike Leach's Bulldogs. Then in the second half, the Tigers scored on four of their seven possessions to come back to win 31-16. In both instances, the offense came alive in the second half. But why is that exactly?
LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly spoke with the media and highlighted three things that could explain the second half boom, and the first half silence. Between Jayden Daniels' adjustments, offensive tempo changes, and the conditioning that Brian Kelly has boasted about all season long, the Tigers are set up to be a second half team. But is that a trend that will continue throughout the rest of the season, or does LSU just need some time to build chemistry as a team?
Also, Locked On LSU host Caroline Fenton hands out her game balls from the Mississippi State game. Who stood out on offense, defense, and special teams? How will LSU improve areas of concern and continue to build upon its strongest units?
