KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-"You gotta love football man.It's like playing football when you're in the backyard. "Those were LSU coach Ed Orgeron's words to ESPN's Allison Williams during a driving rainstorm that came during halftime of the Tigers' 30-10 win over Tennessee on Saturday night at Neyland Stadium. Just moments after that interview, Tennessee's return men couldn't get a hold of the ball and it was recovered by the Volunteers at their own 3-yard line. Three rushes and a punt later and LSU took control of the ball at midfield.The Tigers (8-3, 5-2 SEC) crushed any momentum the Volunteers (4-7, 0-7) had after a late second-quarter touchdown with a nine-play, 50-yard drive capped off by a 3-yard touchdown run by Derrius Guice to give the Tigers a 23-10 lead. Derrius Guice finished with 97 yards on 24 carries yards and crossed the 1,000-yard mark for the season. He became just the fifth back in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons joining Leonard Fournette (2014-15), Kevin Faulk (1996-98), Dalton Hilliard (1984-85) and Charles Alexander (1977-78). WHAT WE LEARNED: The Tigers aren't afraid to run Danny Etling.After taking a couple of quarterback keepers and designed quarterback runs last week against Arkansas, Etling again had his own number called several times against Tennessee. He kept it on a read option in the second quarter and walked into the end zone on 13-yard gain. He finished with nine carries for 42 yards and a touchdown.WHAT WENT RIGHT: LSU was able to take advantage of several Tennessee miscues in the return game. Aside from the one at the start of the second half, Marquez Callaway also had problems fielding punts in the first half. Callaway mishandled punts in the first and second quarters that Russell Gage and Michael Divinity recovered respectively. Gage's recovery led to a 30-yard field goal by Connor Culp while Divinity's recovery led to a 10-yard touchdown run by Darrel Williams. WHAT WENT WRONG: Tennessee's rushing defense was allowing 256.9yards per game before tonight. That was last in the SEC and 126th in the country.Still, they stepped up and handled LSU's rushing attack early. The Tigers had just nine yards on their first six carries.LSU didn't get a first down until Williams' 10-yard touchdown run with 11:31 left in the second quarter. But after that, the Tigers attack got going and finished with 200, the first time LSU hit the 200-yard mark since the Ole Miss game. Also, LSU's defensive backs did not have their best night.Donte Jackson fell down in coverage allowing a 46-yard touchdown to Callaway. Kevin Toliver lost the ball in the lights and allowed Tennessee receiver Jeff George to make the catch. Then, John Battle tried delivering a knockout blow that didn't connect and George ended up with a 60-yard gain. Jackson also cost his team yardage with an unsportsmanlike conduct flag early in the fourth quarter for flashing his middle finger to the Tennessee crowd. The flag wiped out a 3rd-and-16 Tenne
