Creating more turnovers and increasing first-half scoring: Three questions LSU needs answered vs. Tennessee

LSU cornerback Greedy Williams (29) has four of the Tigers' 11 interceptions this season.

It could be 105 degrees or negative one (degrees), I'm going to be the same me. Just regular white socks and one arm sleeve on the left side."
