LSU beats Louisiana Tech 45-14 behind historic defensive performance

LSU's defense overwhelmed Louisiana Tech with seven sacks, 11 tackles for loss, negative rushing yardage, negative EPA and an 18% success rate. Princewill Umanmielen recorded three sacks, while Deuce Geralds emerged as a notable contributor. The result reinforces the defense as LSU's defining strength, but Sam Leavitt's three interceptions, offensive-line inconsistency, penalties and red-zone struggles remain central concerns ahead of Ole Miss.
