A few observations:
*Z Mett was 16 of 19 with 5 TD's, a school record. His QB rating was 295.7. I've never seen a single game rating that high. Z Mett is currently ranked 13th in the nation in QB efficiency.
*Odell Beckham is currently ranked #2 in the country in all-purpose yards. He's averaging 252 yards a game, and that is not counting his 100 yard missed FG return which was the first in LSU's long history.
*Hill and Hilliard combined for 105 yards on 17 carries. Hill had a healthy 8.3 yards per carry average on 6 carries. By the Auburn game I expect the depth chart to sort itself out with Hilliard and Hill getting the majority of carries.
*I think Hill should have been suspended for this game as well. I'm not a big moralist when it comes to player discipline, but Miles has invited unwanted scrutiny and criticism in his handling of Hill.
*At the end of the first quarter, UAB had a total of 10 yards of offense. For the most part, the remainder of the game was a scrimmage for the defense. 26 different defensive players recorded tackles for the Tigers. The backups struggled in the second quarter but the staff made adjustments and UAB was held scoreless the entire second half.
*LSU had seven "3 and outs" on Saturday.
The Tigers get a struggling Kent State team next week. The Golden Flashes are ranked 117th nationally in pass efficiency defense. Expect another big game from Z Mett.
LSU 52 - Kent State 10
