LSU again woke up during halftime to take control just as they did at South Carolina the previous week. Both LSU and UCLA scored 17 points in the first half, but the Tigers won the second half 17-0.
Part of the Tigers' problem in the first 30 minutes was that the Bruins' QB Ethan Garbers played beyond expectations, repeatedly hitting receivers who were tightly covered. The Tigers put more pressure on him the second half and mixed up their coverages to put goose eggs on the UCLA side of the scoreboard in both quarters.
Unfortunately, LSU lost its most heralded defensive player, LB Harold Perkins, for the season with the dreaded torn ACL in the second half.
What's interesting to me is that the LSU coaching staff has been trying to figure out how best to use Perkins last year and the start of this season. That being the case, Perkins' loss may not be as disastrous as we fear.
