Brian Kelly and Co. get back in the win column, take down the Commodores in Tiger Stadium.
BATON ROUGE – LSU got back to its winning ways on Saturday behind a very efficient outing from quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who went 28-of-37 passing for 332 yards and a touchdown to lead the Tigers over Vanderbilt at home, 24-17.
The Tigers responded quickly. Nussmeier found tight end Mason Taylor for a 10-yard pickup on first down, then found Kyren Lacy for a 30-yard connection a few plays later to advance the football to the Vandy 37. The drive was culminated by back-to-back chunk plays from Josh Williams with a 14-yard pass and a 20-yard scoring rush, capping off a 90-yard drive that spanned just under five minutes on eight plays.
LSU was able to generate points before the half, putting together a 9-play, 80-yard drive that spanned three minutes and 22 seconds, culminating with a 21-yard touchdown dash from senior running back Josh Williams. The Tigers led 14-7 with 51 ticks to play in the first half.
