BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Garrett Nussmeier threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth and No. 3 LSU easily beat Southeastern Louisiana 56-10 on Saturday night.

The Tigers (4-0) erupted for 28 points in the second quarter to put the game quickly out of reach in only the third meeting between the schools.

“We have a standard of how we want to play and I thought we upheld that standard,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said. “There is no perfection out there, but there was definitely some progress.”

Up by a touchdown early in the second quarter, LSU scored on back-to-back drives, on scoring runs of 2 and 10 yards by running back Ju’Juan Johnson.

LSU’s defense, which held the Lions (2-2) to 30 yards of total offense in the first half, forced a three and out late in the second quarter. Nussmeie
