LSU also picked up 39 first downs, breaking the program record it set in Week 1 against Clemson (37)

FINAL: LSU beats McNeese State 63-14. Tigers run 101 plays, breaking a program record set in 1969, and pick up 731 total yards, which is the second-most in program history. Lane Kiffin was running real plays to the bitter end. Next...a road trip to Kentucky

Stat of the night LSU had 10 rushing TDs all of last year. It has 19 such scores through five games this year, more than any other FBS team
001
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
RB Stacey Gage breaks off 46-yard TD run that makes it 56-14 LSU. Tigers have 268 rush yards tonight. Husan Longstreet has been in at QB for the last couple drives, and he's also been...fielding punts? Sure, why not.

McNeese scores twice in the third, and now it's 49-14 LSU. The latter TD was an end-around toss play that went for 64 yards. The Tigers have the backups in
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Harlem Berry scores an 11-yd TD that makes it 49-0 LSU. He's had a nice night: 15 carries, 125 yards and a TD. Lane Kiffin's trying to see if Berry can become a bigger part of the offense moving forward. So far, so good.

Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
LSU's having some fun now. Freshman DT Deuce Geralds just took a direct snap and ran in a 1-yard TD. We actually saw the Tigers practice that play in spring. Now they use it in a game. LSU up 42-0
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Sam Leavitt went back into the game and threw a 12-yard TD pass to a wide-open Corey Barber, the freshman. LSU up 35-0 Barber: 4 catches, 45 yards, 2 TDs Leavitt: 18/23, 176 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Harlem Berry breaks off a 46-yard run, and that's a great sign for the LSU offense. He can add an explosive element to the offense, but only if Lane Kiffin trusts him to do the little things. He's got 85 yards on eight carries. Landen Clark in at QB
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Sam Leavitt connects with freshman WR Corey Barber for a 6-yard TD. LSU now leads 28-0. That should be it for the first-team offense. Barber: 3 catches, 33 yards, 1 TD
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Deuce Geralds gets a sack on third down. That's five on the year for the budding star DT. Leads all FBS freshman
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Landen Clark keeps it on a read-option and races in for a 3-yard TD. LSU leads 21-0. Sam Leavitt did not get hurt. Lane Kiffin just wanted to use Clark in one of those red-zone packages they've been giving him the last three weeks. Let's see if Clark takes over the offense on LSU's next drive

Arden Key set LSU's single-season sack record in 2016
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Another Princewill Umanmielen sack. That's eight in four-plus games. He had nine last season. LSU single-season record is 12

Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Sam Leavitt throws a interception, his seventh of the year. Good job by McNeese to disguise the coverage there. Leavitt didn't even see the cornerback drop back into a Cover 2 shell, and he threw the post right at him
010
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Make that two dropped TDs for Winnie Watkins. He was open down the seam again, and Sam Leavitt gave him a great throw, but he just couldn't hang on. Would've been a 30-yard score
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
McNeese punts for a second time tonight after failing to pick up a 3rd and 2. Dylan Carpenter had the stop. Sam Leavitt back out for LSU's third drive
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Sam Leavitt connects with WR/TE Roman Mothershed in the flat for an easy 1-yard TD on a play-action pass. Leavitt improvised and linked up with WR Corey Barber on a 4th and 4 to keep that drive alive. LSU up 14-0
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Winston Watkins was wiiiiide open down the seam for LSU, and Sam Leavitt gave him a perfect pass, but he dropped it. Would've been a 41-yard TD
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Sam Leavitt is still in on LSU's second drive
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Dilin Jones caps LSU's opening drive with a 1-yd TD run. He had six carries for 28 yards on that possession. That is the first time the Tigers have scored on their opening drive this season
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
McNeese picked up a couple first downs, but its first drive of the night ends on an interception by Tamarcus Cooley. Sam Leavitt gets the start at QB for LSU
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
We're underway in Tiger Stadium. McNeese won the toss and elected to receive. Clear skies and a solid crowd.

Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Sam Leavitt is dressed out and going through pregame warm-ups just like he normally would ahead of LSU-McNeese. Looks like he has a wrap and some extra tape on that left leg. Remember, Leavitt tweaked his hamstring last week vs. Texas A&M. Lane Kiffin said he'd be cautious with him this week
001
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Hello from Tiger Stadium, where we have good news: no rain so far. Get ready for LSU-McNeese with Scott Rabalais' column on the caution Lane Kiffin could (and maybe should) exercise tonight around some key starters: www.nola.com/sports/lsu/f...
nola.com
Scott Rabalais: As LSU’s season enters second act, ‘Caution’ could well be title of this play
With injuries and an underratedly dangerous mid-season schedule, the always-bold Lane Kiffin is having to be something he is not known for: cautious.

Lane Kiffin could roll with a transfer QB from Elon tomorrow. @reeddarcey.bsky.social with a story on Landen Clark, the LSU backup who reminds Kiffin of his last small-school find at QB. Enough that Kiffin had to clarify, "I'm not saying he's Trinidad." www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

Final: LSU beats Texas A&M 35-6 in an impressive bounce-back performance after the Ole Miss loss. Sam Leavitt was composed and efficient, and he might've found a new favorite target: WR Jackson Harris. But..there's concern for Whit Weeks, who left with an injury in the second half McNeese next
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU WR Winston Watkins is on the sideline holding his helmet after he took a hard shot to the head earlier in the second half
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Lane Kiffin told the ABC broadcast that Whit Weeks' injury "looked really bad"
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU now leads 35-6 after another Landen Clark rushing TD. WR Jackson Harris keeps making plays: 6 catches, 163 yards, 2 TDs
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Bad news for LSU: Whit Weeks just walked into the locker room on crutches. Towel on his head and a boot on his right foot. Didn't see exactly what happened
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU goes up 28-3 with a 4-yard run by Landen Clark. Sam Leavitt has been wobbling around with what looks like a left calf injury, and he wasn't in on that play
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Sam Leavitt finds Jackson Harris *wide open* for a 57-yard TD. LSU leads 21-3. Gutsy call there: it was 4th and 1 on the LSU 43. LSU lined up in a condensed formation, Leavitt faked a handoff, and Harris slipped right through the Texas A&M defense. Lane Kiffin sprints down the sideline
020
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Big sack from Tamarcus Cooley to end Texas A&M's first drive of the second half. The delayed blitzes have really been working for LSU. Marcel Reed's now down to 2 rushing yards
010
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Lane Kiffin to the ABC broadcast on Sam Leavitt: "It's probably no secret, Sam's hurt. He stayed in and made some big throws in there." Looked like Leavitt may have done something to his left leg on one of his scrambles. Something to keep an eye on.
010
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Halftime: LSU leads Texas A&M 14-3. Big series from freshman DT Deuce Geralds. Two tackles and a sack that ended the drive. Marcel Reed has only 13 net rushing yards. Has LSU finally figured out how to stop him?
010
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Sam Leavitt finds Jackson Harris in the end zone for a 16-yard TD, and now LSU leads 14-3. That was another great throw -- on a drive full of them. Leavitt recognized one-on-one coverage, then gave Harris a chance to make a play. Good late hands from Harris, too.
010
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Wow. That's such a pretty throw from Sam Leavitt on 3rd and 7. Stepped up in the pocket and floated a pass to Winnie Watkins outside the numbers. Leavitt doesn't look nearly as rushed as he did last week. He's taking his time...in part because he has time this week
010
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU punts for the fourth time tonight. Looked like the Tigers drew Texas A&M offsides there on fourth down, but there was no flag. Lane Kiffin irate. If you're Braelin Moore, you need to snap the ball there to make sure you get the call. No need to leave it to the officials' judgment.
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Texas A&M had a 3rd and goal from the 6, but Marcel Reed couldn't complete a fade pattern in the end zone. PJ Woodland in coverage. LSU now leads 7-3, 8:46 left in the 2nd
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
End 1st: LSU leads 7-0. LSU has one scoring drive and three punts. Texas A&M has 55 total yards, and its offense has not yet run a play in LSU territory, though that looks like it's about to change on this drive
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU has punted on three of its first four drives. That time, the run plays on first and second down picked up only 4 yards, and Sam Leavitt couldn't connect with Eugene Wilson on third down. Texas A&M still hasn't run a play in LSU territory
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Sam Leavitt appeared to pick up the first down there, but officials ruled that he started his slide before he crossed the line to gain. LSU punts on 4th and 1
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU strikes first, takes a 7-0 lead after Dilin Jones scores on a 1-yard wildcat run. The offense was in a much better rhythm on that drive. Early-down runs. Quick reads for Leavitt. Tempo. That's how it's supposed to look. Jones set up the score with a 36-yard run
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU made a change to its offensive line and its secondary. Ty Benefield slid down to play Star in place of Dashawn Spears (ACL), and Jhase Thomas took his place at safety. Makes a lot of sense. Benefield knows how to play around the line of scrimmage
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The LSU defense did a good job there keeping Marcel Reed in the pocket. Whit Weeks came around the edge on a delayed blitz and forced an errant throw. The Tigers have to make sure they keep contain on Reed. He'll run wild if they don't
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
LSU's first drive ends in a three-and-out. On 3rd and 4, Sam Leavitt couldn't connect with Winnie Watkins on a slant. Good pass break-up there by Jordan Shaw
000
Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Texas A&M wins the toss and elects to defer. We're almost underway in Tiger Stadium

Reed Darcey @reeddarcey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Wondering why LSU's making a change at left guard? Lane Kiffin has been saying he's been wanting to see more from the interior of his offensive line, even after the Clemson game. More here: www.nola.com/sports/lsu/f...

Meanwhile, in Gainesville, Florida takes down Ole Miss 52-28. The Gators rushed for 303 yards (!!) Former Tulane coach Jon Sumrall gets a huge win early in his first year at Florida. Last week, Ole Miss held LSU to 24 points
