BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Garrett Nussmeier passed for 352 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 16 LSU outscored UCLA 17-0 in the second half for a 34-17 victory on Saturday. However, LSU lost the services of linebacker Harold Perkins, a preseason All-America selection, when he injured his right knee while making a tackle in the fourth quarter.

Brian Kelly and the No. 16 ranked LSU Tigers will take on the UCLA Bruins on Saturday afternoon in a non-conference battle in Death Valley. The Bayou Bengals are eyeing their third straight victory after taking down Nicholls State and South Carolina over the last two weeks.
