The LSU Tigers cruised to a 31-0 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Here were the highest- and lowest-graded players from the game.

The LSU Tigers are coming off an easy-going win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday. They won 31-0, a confidence-builder.

They won’t be praised for the win, given the injury situation for the Bulldogs, but it’s a win all the same. They are also graded all the same, and not everyone was deserving of a grade that the might suggest.

Pro Football Focus has released the latest grades for Saturday's matchup, rating each player's performance on a 1-10 scale. Here are the highest and lowest grades from either side of the ball:

Offense

Highest: QB Sam Leavitt - 81.4

Leavitt's performance has been one of the main talking points of this game. It was the first time that he had gone through a match as a member of the Tigers without a turnover. He did have a fumble that went out of bounds, but the big thing is that he didn't throw an interception for the first time.

He had as clean a day as anyone could ask for, even if they didn't generate a ton of explosive plays. They simply didn't need to. He went 31-for-38 through the air for 289 yards and four touchdowns.

Lowest: OT Jordan Seaton - 34.8

The good news is that even though Seaton got an astronomically low pass-blocking grade (3.3) with four pressures allowed. It was the most he has allowed in a single game since Week 12 of his freshman year. It ties for second-most of his career behind the second game of his career with nine pressures (he still had a 39.2 grade in that game). The point being, this isn't a regular issue. He is still projected as a top-10 pick in the coming NFL draft.

Defense

Highest: DE Jordan Ross - 92.8

It has been the Princewill Umanmielen show for the most part in the pass rush this season, which has taken away from a career year for Ross. Ross is a former five-star recruit who had two disappointing seasons with the Tennessee Volunteers. He is closer to his potential in this defensive scheme.

The defensive end picked up six pressures, four stops, no missed tackles, a strip sack and 1.5 TFLs.

Lowest: DT Stephiylan Green - 57.0

Unlike the offensive side of the ball, there wasn't anyone who graded out very poorly and played more than four snaps. Green was the lowest-graded contributor, and even he had an average grade. He had two tackles and batted a pass, but two missed tackles sent his score down.

Green has been an ultimately reliable defender this season, and those were his first two missed tackles of the year, so no real big deal here.
