The LSU Tigers and head coach Les Miles entered the 2013 season wondering how their offense would compliment a stout defense. Defensive prowess has always been a staple of Les Miles' teams at the Bayou and this year is no different, leaving those closely associated with the team pondering whether or not the offense could finally provide major support. Through the first 2 games of the 2013-2014 LSU campaign, minds have - at least for now - been put at ease thanks to the play of quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Throwing for a total of 533 yards and 6 touchdowns this season, Mettenberger and the Tiger offense seem capable of putting together a long-awaited consistent season.

The Tigers' next opponent comes in the form of 1-1 Kent State. The Golden Flashes play in the MAC conference, a far cry from the uber-competitive SEC but nonetheless, this squad boasts significant talent of their own. Quarterback Colin Reardon is off to a solid start, throwing for 358 yards and 4 scores in 2 games. While Reardon will certainly be a player worth noting, the performance of the Golden Flashes defense will write the script in this one. LSU's playmaking wide receiver Odell Beckham is fun to watch and with he and the always-consistent Tiger defense leading the way, Les Miles and company should be able to head into their SEC schedule with an unblemished 3-0 record.
