Some context, since raw yardage totals are often misleading.

Opponents are averaging 36.8 attempts against LSU, which is tied for 15th most in the nation (almost as if building early leads has forced opponents to throw it a lot, crazy right)

LSU is averaging 6.6 yards per passing attempt, which is 52nd in the country (certainly not great, I'll admit)

LSU has 6 interceptions, tied for 12th best in the country

LSU has surrendered a 55% completion rate, tied for 39th

LSU is 15th in passing efficiency D in the 1st half, and 88th in the 2nd half.

LSU has surrendered 1 passing TD in the 1st half (tied for 10th best) and 4 passing TDs in the 2nd half (tied for 90th best)

LSU has led by 17+ points in three of their four games.

One could almost say that LSU's backups are giving up a bulk of the yards in garbage time after LSU has already built up a significant lead.
