LSU football bowl projections following Week 12 win over Georgia State
BATON ROUGE — LSU football extended its winning streak to two on Saturday, taking down Georgia State in Tiger Stadium on Saturday, 56-14.
The No. 14 Tigers (8-3, 6-2) scored touchdowns in each of their opening eight drives to pull away from the Panthers.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels was responsible for all eight scores, throwing six touchdowns and running in two more. Wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers and Kyren Lacy each had over 100 receiving yards and at least one touchdown in the win.
LSU finishes out its regular season slate this Saturday against Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium (11 a.m., ESPN). But the Tigers will still have one more game to play before their second season under coach Brian Kelly comes to a close.
