LSU Football: 3 takeaways from blowout win over Vanderbilt in Week 4

LSU football was in control the whole game as the Tigers won by a score of 66-38. What did we learn from LSU’s blowout win over Vanderbilt.

The outcome of the game was never in doubt today. LSU was in control the whole time and Vanderbilt had no shot stopping the Tigers’ offense.

While Vanderbilt was able to move the ball here and there on offense, it wasn’t consistent enough to keep them in the game. Vanderbilt lost of 66-38 as they were able to tack on a late touchdown. LSU looked unstoppable on offense as usual and Vanderbilt will go back to the drawing board on defense.

What’d we learn from the Tigers’ win?

3. Vanderbilt couldn’t stop Ja’Marr Chase, LSU receivers

Before the third quarter even ended, LSU was up 59-31 with Ja’Marr Chase leading the way for the wide receiver charge of LSU. He had over 220 yards receiving and four receiving touchdowns before the third quarter even ended.

Vanderbilt had no answer for LSU’s offense, especially their passing attack. It seemed like every play there was a wide open receiver running for LSU. Yes, Chase had the big game statistically, but Jefferson and McMath both had receiving touchdowns and Marshall had a good game himself as he had 75 yards receiving, before the fourth quarter as well.

From the very first drive of the game it was evident that the LSU receivers were on another level compared to the Vanderbilt defensive backs. LSU’s receiving core has had their way against every defense they have played this season so far.

Going into the season, Alabama was considered to have the best receiving group, however with the way LSU has played so far, the best receiving group in the SEC and the nation is up for debate.
