The LSU defense shined once again on Saturday as LSU defeated South Carolina by a score of 20-10. South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers was sacked five times, and the Tigers held the Gamecock offense to 317 total yards with just 124 yards through the air. LSU also forced two turnovers.
Those are all very impressive numbers, but there is one stat that stands out among the rest from LSU's dominating defensive performance against South Carolina.
LSU created pressure early and often - even without blitzing
Not only did LSU sack Sellers five times, but the Tigers were able to put constant pressure on Sellers - even without blitzing.
