Garrett Nussmeier dropped back to pass on first and 10. It was his second throw of the night, and senior wide receiver Barion Brown was wide open while streaking down the left sideline.

Nussmeier saw Brown, but his pass was well short . The fifth-year senior's underthrow allowed the ball to deflect off Louisiana Tech defensive back Cedric Woods. The carom was caught by his teammate, Michael Richard, resulting in an interception.

It was Nussmeier's first turnover of the year, but it wasn't the only mistake the LSU offense made during its 23-7 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.

Dropped passes and penalties slowed a Tigers' attack that dominated the Bulldogs in time of possession (36:52-23:08) and total yards (366-154).
