PROVO — In the season opener, BYU’s offense didn’t exactly put up the type of numbers it was hoping for against FCS opponent Portland State.

The Cougars gained only 13 first downs, threw for fewer than 200 yards, converted just four of 13 third down opportunities and scored only two touchdowns, finishing with a meager 20 points.

When BYU battles No. 13 Louisiana State Saturday (7:30 p.m., MDT, ESPN) at the Superdome in New Orleans, it will be facing one of the nation’s premier defenses.
