Stock Up, Stock Down: LSU takes down Missouri on the road
When LSU needed a play the most, Major Burns and the LSU defense stepped up and got the job done. With less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, LSU led the game 42-39 but Missouri had the ball. Brady Cook dropped back to pass and threw an interception to Burns, who took it back to the house for six.
That play secured a 49-39 win for the Tigers over Missouri.
It wasn’t pretty, but LSU escaped with a big win against the 5-0 Missouri Tigers on the road. Jayden Daniels played his heart out, Logan Diggs played well and Malik Nabers had another stellar day.
Here’s how things are trending as the Tigers get back on track.
Stock Up: Logan Diggs
Diggs served as the bell cow for the Tigers today and he did a great job as he carried the ball 24 times for 134 yards and a touchdown. When LSU needed some tough yards, Diggs got the job done.
Stock Down: Penalties
It seemed like just about every time LSU made a big play they would get called for a penalty. LSU had 11 penalties for 83 yards and a lot of them came in pivotal moments.
Stock Down: Defense
The Tigers defense made some gains in the second half but they were still miserable. Brady Cook carved the LSU defense up as the Missouri Tigers had 527 total yards, five touchdowns, and a field goal.
Stock Up: Harold Perkins
Harold Perkins finished the game with only three tackles but he made a couple of big plays. He had a huge interception that got LSU back in the game and he had a huge tackle for loss to stop Missouri.
Stock Up: Jayden Daniels
Daniels played with the “Eye of the Tiger” today. He was injured on a touchdown run that was called back for holding. That didn’t stop him though as he came right back out and scored two more touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 42-39 lead. Daniels finished the game 15-for-21 for 259 yards and three touchdowns as well as 15 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
