LSU Tigers dodge a bullet in Houston as they put together 21 unanswered points to knock off Wisconsin 28 to 24. The Tigers were stunned in the 1st half when the Badgers went up 17-7  after Wisconsin Gordon scored on a 14 yard scamper. 3rd qt Wisconsin scored again on a 2 yard run by Clement and LSU was down 24-7, and Les Miles said “We played sloppy, we did everything to the latest possible time before we decided to play best.” “They battled. They hung in there,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said. “I thought both teams fought like crazy. They made one more play than we did and won the game in the end.” LSU wr Dural had big numbers 3 catches, 151 yrds and 1 td, and Hillard gave the Tigers the final touchdown to go along with 115 yards on the ground. Leonard Fournette had a rough outing as well as Brandon Harris. Anthony Jennings played well especially in the 2nd half with 239 in the air and 2 tds. Wr Diarse of LSU had 2 catches for 48 yards and a big td after a catch breaking 4 tackles of the Wisconsin defense. The Badgers offense basically scored in the early 3rd qt and fell asleep the rest of the game as Martin picks off McEvoy of Wisconsin to seal the game, Mills had a interception as well for the Tigers Defense.We have to give alot of credit to Kwon Alexander for stopping the run in the 2 half as he made sure the Badgers were not picking up any yards or big runs. The game ball in my mind would be a tie between QBJennings, wrDural and rbHillard. LSU faces Sam Houston saturday at 630pm for it’d 1st home game. On the record LSU hasn’t lost a non-conference game since 2002.
