In the annals of LSU football history, the Tigers' 63-14 win against Idaho on Saturday will look like a blowout where the superior team dominated the winless small conference opponent. What will be forgotten are the times Tigers defenders bailed LSU out of what was, at times, a sluggish performance by a team caught between a big non-conference win over Washington and an SEC opener at Auburn. Four interceptions of Idaho's Dominique Blackman turned what might have been an upset alert game into a laugher.
Question: What are the positives that the Idaho Vandals can take from this game, besides a payday of more than $900,000?
