The third weekend of the college football season didn’t bring about any major changes for the LSU football team.
The Tigers (3-0, 2-0) remained entrenched at No. 12 in Sunday’s USA Today/ESPN Top 25 coaches poll and No. 15 in the Associated Press poll after defeating Mississippi State, 29-7, on Saturday night.
LSU’s defense led the way against the Bulldogs (1-2, 0-2) with five interceptions, while LSU senior kicker Josh Jasper set a school record with five field goals.
The Tigers jumped several spots in last week’s rankings by virtue of several major upsets across the college football landscape. This week was not so eventful, as the only movement in the top 12 saw No. 7 Nebraska jump No. 8 Florida after an impressive win at Washington.
The Tigers were jumped by No. 11 Arkansas, who moved up from No. 13 after a 31-24 win at Georgia.
