Tigers Win Despite Offense Struggles | LSU Tigers Football News

The Tigers clawed to a gritty win over Louisiana Tech despite a sloppy, turnover-prone offense that coughed up four fumbles and five sacks. The defense, however, rose to the occasion with Princewill Umanmielen leading the charge with three sacks and already surpassing last season’s sack leader. Deuce Geralds made his mark with his first career sack and a crucial forced fumble, while TJ Dottery anchored the defense with tackles and two forced fumbles. On offense, tight end TreyDez Green shined with six catches for over 100 yards and a TD, even lining up in the backfield. QB Sam Leavitt turned things around after a disastrous first quarter—three picks—but added three rushing touchdowns. Still, the offensive line, especially the guards, struggled to open holes, and Eugene Wilson III’s fumble hurt. The defense carried the day, but fixing turnovers and run-blocking will be critical as the Tigers face tougher opponents.
