INSTANT ANALYSIS: Good bounce back by LSU

The atmosphere for LSU’s game against UAB on Saturday night was much different from its last appearance in Tiger Stadium two weeks ago.

Due to cold and rainy conditions and an 8 p.m. start time, fewer than half of the seats were filled – not like the situation against Alabama some 14 days earlier. Moreover, a 5-5 Blazers team was not going to stir the passions of LSU fans.

So, the Tigers players could not rely upon the crowd to help with their emotions against UAB.
