TJ Dottery and Davhon Keys Step Up in LSU's Dominant Defensive Performance

LSU’s defense delivered a dominant shutout in a 31-0 win over Mississippi State at Tiger Stadium, silencing a high-powered offense that had previously tested the Tigers. The unit, led by Lane Kiffin, held the Bulldogs to a 0-for-5 record on fourth-down attempts despite facing injuries to key linebackers Whit Weeks, Charles Ross III, and Tylen Singleton.

TJ Dottery emerged as a standout with 12 tackles, matching his season high and stepping into a leadership role in the absence of Weeks, who remains out indefinitely. His 10 assist tackles highlighted the Tigers’ stifling rush defense, currently ranked second nationally, while Davhon Keys also stepped up with a season-high 10 tackles, reinforcing the unit’s resilience against the run game.
