Week 2 Ranking: 2

Week 2 Result: 23-7 win vs Louisiana Tech

LSU may have had a little bit of a hangover after their emotional win at Clemson during week one, so the Tigers do get a little bit of a pass after their not so convincing win against Louisiana Tech this week.

The Tigers defense played extremely well and only gave up seven points which is extremely solid against any opponent, but 23 points on offense isn't going to cut it. Quarterback Gerrett Nussmeier also is not living up to the hype as he was only able to throw one touchdown which was paired with one interception on Saturday. If LSU is gong to win the SEC, they are going to need better quarterback play from him.

LSU opens up SEC play this weekend against the Florida Gators at home which one week ago looked like a massive matchup. But Florida's mess against South Florida took away some of the hype in this game, but Florida can still win this game so LSU can't afford to overlook them.
