LSU set the tone against South Alabama as early as early as can be, scoring on the first offensive play of the game and cruising to a 42-10 win at Death Valley. The opening score came on a 71-yard catch and run by freshman Caden Durham. Head Coach Brian Kelly says it was a great play call by Offensive Coordinator Joe Sloan.
Cut 16 (11) “…hadn’t run before.”
Durham left the game with a foot injury, but Kelly says it’s not serious.
