Defensive pressure helps Tigers to five interceptions

LSU, the nation’s leader in sacks entering Saturday, managed only one against Mississippi State.
But what the Tigers’ defensive pressure generated against the Bulldogs was even better.
LSU recorded its first five interceptions of the season, four the direct result of pressure on MSU quarterbacks Chris Relf and Tyler Russell, during the Tigers’ 29-7 win at Tiger Stadium.
Starting cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Morris Claiborne both had two interceptions for LSU, while Drake Nevis had one. Those more than made up for a night where LSU, which had 10 sacks through the first two games, never sacked a Bulldogs quarterback after the first quarter.
“I felt like our defense played extremely well from start to finish,” LSU coach Les Miles said “Some of those turnovers were spectacular.”
Spectacularly athletic, particularly Peterson’s first interception where he leaped over Bulldogs receiver Arceto Clark to steal a deep jump ball pass from Relf.
