HALFTIME: LSU is ahead of Vanderbilt 14-7
BATON ROUGE- LSU leads Vanderbilt 14-7 at halftime. The Tigers are looking to end a three game losing streak with a win in Death Valley.
The Tigers went three-and-out on their first possession and Vanderbilt quickly took advantage. On the Commodores first play on offense, quarterback Diego Pavia found wide receiver Quincy Skinner Jr. for a 63-yard passing touchdown to take a 7-0 lead.
LSU immediately responded with a 90-yard drive that included multiple chunk passing plays from quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Tigers’ running back Josh Williams capped off the long drive with a 20-yard rushing touchdown to tie the game up at seven points.
On the next Tigers’ possession, LSU once again moved the ball efficiently down the field, but were unable to come away with points. Vanderbilit turned LSU over on downs after a failed 4th and goal attempt from the three yard line.
Midway through the second quarter, Vanderbilt put together a red zone drive of their own, but the Tigers’ defense stepped up to turn the Commodores over on downs.
LSU found their groove once again, but this time managed to punch it into the end zone with less than a minute to go in the half on a 21-yard rushing touchdown from Willams for his second score of the night. The Tigers took a 14-7 lead to the locker room.
