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.

BATON ROUGE -- There were boos in Tiger Stadium as Coach Brian Kelly and his heavily favored, 16th-ranked LSU squad trotted off the field at halftime of a tie game against UCLA on Saturday. Whether because of LSU's mercurial early play or the oppressive Louisiana heat, large sections of the stadium cleared out soon after.
