The LSU Tigers are on the bye week, which offers a great opportunity to take a step back and reassess where the team stands ahead of the toughest stretch of the schedule. 

This Tigers team doesn't have a ton of weaknesses. They have the sixth-ranked offense in the country with 510.0 yards per game and the fourth-best defense, allowing just 258.1 yards.

That being said, they're still 4-2. They haven't been perfect. Here are the four areas where the team has been the weakest:

Leavitt has had one major issue this year: turning the ball over. He has been reckless through the air at times, and trying to do too much with his legs has led to some critical fumbles. He currently leads the SEC with eight interceptions, having thrown a pick in each of the first six games.

To his credit, he has now gone two straight games without an official turnover. There was a fumble out of bounds against the Mississippi State Bulldogs and an interception that got called back against the Auburn Tigers, but no official backbreaking turnover.

Leavitt is more confident as a passer than he was over the first couple of weeks, so hopefully that will help his decision-making moving forward.

The Tigers' rush defense has been strong this year. They allow just 85.4 yards per game, which ranks sixth-best in the league. They also allow 2.69 yards per rush. The only real weakness is that they have been prone to allowing big plays, which could come back to bite them (and already has in close games). Per CFBStats, LSU has allowed 26 runs of 10+ yards, which ranks 42nd. They've allowed six rushes of 20+ yards (also 42nd). They've allowed two rushes of 50+ yards, which ranks 86th.

The main reason that the Tigers' rushing offense even ranks as high as it does (33rd at 192 yards per game) is the fact that Dilin Jones is an incredible back. The offensive line hasn't always been much help. LSU has allowed 46 tackles for a loss, which ranks 116th in the country. They've allowed 13 sacks, No. 56 in the nation. Left guard and right tackle, in particular, have been struggle points for them this year.

Similar to the rush defense, the Tigers have been solid at shutting quarterbacks down this year. They don't allow a ton through the air, but have again been prone to the big plays. A lot of those big plays have come from the receivers making things happen after the catch. Per PFF, LSU has allowed 823 of its 1,380 yards to come after the catch. For comparison's sake, the Oregon Ducks have allowed  1,383 yards and only 604 have come after the catch.

Good quarterbacks have found holes in the defense and it has turned into easy yards for their receivers. A lot of those yards have come from holes in the coverage against slot corners and linebackers. This is something they'll have to improve against the offenses they have coming up.
