THE REAL LSU STANDS UP
By LONN PHILLIPS SULLIVAN

On Saturday night in Nashville, Orgeron's 2020 Tigers sealed their first victory of the season following a 41-7 domination of Vanderbilt, Myles Brennan showing poise, doses of swagger, evading pressure like a heathen, showing fantastic body language (even when struggling) and most of all: he was tossing the ball around, unloading 4 years of frustration with gutty throws.
The erasing of Vanderbilt was exactly what this team needed: We know this collection of players possess boundless talents, but would they have the mental toughness to respond after such a disappointing start to the season, seemingly "burdened" by expectation?
We received our resounding answer from these tough Tigers, in fact, if a few receivers don't drop the ball or you remove Myles' bone-headed interception, LSU would've administered a medieval 60 point beatdown.
