LSU Football: 3 Takeaways from loss to Florida State

LSU Football falls to Florida State in Camping World Stadium in Orlando. 

Tonight was a tale of two halves. The Tigers and Seminoles went back and forth as if they were two heavyweights standing in the middle of the ring, trading punches. Then, the second half happened, and a different Florida State team came out.

Florida State changed the questions, and LSU had no answers. Not only did the ‘Noles score 30 second-half points, but the Tigers scored a meager seven points.

Offensively, Jordan Travis manipulated the pocket and made plays. Defensively, the offensive line bowed up and constantly harassed LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. That was the difference between FSU and LSU tonight. While the Tigers did pressure Travis, he still found a way to make plays.

On the other hand, Daniels could not make plays when being pressured. Florida State also found its running game, while LSU could not. The Tigers got 75 of its rushing yards on two plays. Florida State was more physical in the trenches, and their depth on both sides of the football showed itself.

FSU showed its depth on the defensive line and exposed LSU’s lack of depth on the defensive line. The Seminoles distributed carries amongst five different rushers.

Here are more takeaways from the game.
