The Fighting Tigers enter the home opener 1-0 after leaving No. 4 Clemson victorious in a primetime showdown. Blake Baker’s defense made quite the first impression, holding Clemson to 0 second half points and 31 total rushing yards, behind standout performances from linebacker Harold Perkins and cornerback Mansoor Delane.

Perkins, who returned to LSU for his senior season, finished Saturday’s contest with five tackles, two QB hurries and one sack, while Delane, in his Tiger debut, finished with two pass breakups, two tackles and an INT. Sophomore corner PJ Woodland also flashed with five tackles and a pass breakup, adding to an LSU secondary that looked awfully polished for Week 1. Linebacker West Weeks also tallied five tackles.

“It didn’t happen overnight,” Kelly said on defensive improvements. “It started in January. It’s the discipline that we have in the program. Our guys bought into it and it carried onto the field. Those guys really trusted what we’ve been telling them.”

Offensively, the Tigers were led by fifth-year senior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who finished with 230 yards and a touchdown on 28-for-38 passing. Aaron Anderson led all receivers with six catches for 99 yards. Running back Caden Durham posted 74 yards and a score on 17 carries, averaging 4.4 yards per touch. Tight end Trey’Dez Green scored the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
