Sam Leavitt Leads LSU to 63-14 Victory over McNeese State
LSU piled up 731 yards and scored on defense as Sam Leavitt threw three touchdown passes in a game that set a school record with 102 plays.
On Saturday night in Baton Rouge, the LSU Tigers dominated the McNeese Cowboys 63-14 at Tiger Stadium, improving to 4-1 while setting a school record with 102 offensive plays.
Following a tough loss to Ole Miss on September 19, head coach Lane Kiffin's squad accumulated 731 yards of total offense in their second consecutive victory.
Quarterback Sam Leavitt threw for 173 yards and three touchdowns, while running backs Harlem Berry and Stacy Gage combined for three rushing scores as LSU scored at least 14 points in each quarter.
Defensively, the Tigers limited the Cowboys to six first downs and one third-down conversion on 12 attempts, though McNeese quarterback Jamaal Levi scored on a 64-yard rushing touchdown.
LSU travels to Kentucky next Saturday for Southeastern Conference play, while McNeese will face Northwestern State on October 17.
