McNeese Proved Almost Nothing but LSU Finally Looked Like Lane Kiffin's Team

Lane Kiffin’s LSU Tigers finally showed the offensive identity and explosive play he has promised, routing McNeese State 63–14 in their final non-conference game. The Tigers set program records with 101 offensive plays, 39 first downs, and 731 total yards, demonstrating the tempo and structure Kiffin’s system demands.

Quarterback Sam Leavitt led the charge with 176 passing yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-23 attempts, continuing his improved accuracy trend after a strong performance against Texas A&M the prior week. Meanwhile, running back Harlem Berry emerged as a key contributor, rushing for 125 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, including a 46-yard long gain, after seeing limited action earlier in the season.

Berry’s breakout performance—nearly 100 yards in the first half alone—could force Kiffin to rethink his backfield usage moving forward, even if the Tigers don’t run a traditional two-back set.
