    Perrilloux vs Auburn.
    Keith Zinger vs. MTSU.

    Funny how I have seen so many posts saying "if we don't have senseless penalties, turnovers, etc.", as if we are turnover prone. LSU may have the fewest turnovers in the nation or very close to the top of that list I would think. We have 8 in 8 games, 1 per game.

    Yep, LSU is tied for 3rd with BC, WVU, and Kansas.

    Senseless penalties are awful, and hurting us

    We didn't get penalized a whole heck of a lot vs AU. That's a good sign considering how many we got vs UK.

    The turnover thing really pleases me since we shot ourselves in the foot so many times last year in that regard. It's good to see that sort of improvement.

    tied for 3rd in ratio of turnovers for vs turnovers against (which is excellent).

    tied for 2nd in turnovers given up, only Georgia has fewer (6).

    Look at teams like UConn, BC and Kansas. With those kinds of turnover numbers, it's not surprising they have been as successful as they are this season.

    There isn't a great deal difference in the TO margin for both teams. The penalty difference is another matter.
