The LSU offense continued to commit pre-snap penalties during the first half of its 34-10 road win over Arkansas on Saturday night.

In the first two quarters, officials whistled the Tigers for six false starts and one snap violation. The fouls plagued LSU on two second-quarter drives, each of which ended with a successful field goal attempt by kicker Damian Ramos, who hit three kicks between the uprights in the first half.

Ramos’ kicks helped the Tigers take a 16-7 lead at halftime. But without the penalties, their lead could have been greater.

“We have to clean up all of that together,” said coach Brian Kelly. “Because something like this can’t continue to happen. There were more punishments than I would have liked. We’ll go back and take a closer look, but it’s not one person. All management did it to get cleaner.

In the first half, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier averaged 9.5 yards per completion and LSU’s running backs averaged 5.6 yards per carry. The Tigers also converted four of their seven third-down attempts and forced a fumble, which gave their offense momentum in Arkansas territory.

Center DJ Chester then called an illegal snap penalty on the next play. LSU picked up a first down two plays later, but Chester went offside, giving the Tigers another 5 yards. After two incomplete passes and a 2-yard run, LSU settled for a 48-yard field goal.

LSU then committed two false starts on its next drive, one by star left tackle Will Campbell and another by receiver Aaron Anderson.

Before two of the pre-snap penalties, Arkansas changed its defensive line, a decision that sometimes resulted in a defensive delay-of-game foul. Instead, officials whistled LSU’s response to the movement.

“We can easily say it was crowd noise,” Kelly said. “Sometimes we need to find a better rhythm, and to do that we need to line up receivers quicker. I mean, sometimes it’s a fire drill out there.”

The eight penalties LSU committed in the first half cost their offense 50 yards.

The first two penalties their offense committed in the second half — a call by right tackle Emery Jones and a pass interference foul by receiver Kyren Lacy — sent the Tigers into a third-and-34. They eventually stumbled on fourth down.

At the end of the night, LSU’s offense was penalized 11 times for 80 yards.

Its defense, which forced Arkansas into three turnovers and limited them to just 277 yards of offense, did not commit a single penalty.
