ANALYSIS: New-look Tigers pound South Carolina

There is little doubt that LSU found its collective backs to the wall entering the game against South Carolina at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.

The Tigers had lost two of their first three games – at home to Mississippi State and on the road at Missouri. Those two teams have defeated just one other team this season as Missouri knocked off Kentucky on Saturday.

Facing a very crucial game, LSU coach Ed Orgeron was without his starting quarterback.
