Once again UDUBNation.com takes a look at the biggest numbers that stand out from the stat sheet. This time they're very revealing.

When you lost 41-3 you expect the stat sheet to look ugly and that's exactly how it looked in the aftermath of what transpired in Baton Rouge on Saturday night.

Here are the numbers that stood out.

The Good

There aren't a lot of impressive numbers, but Washington's kick and punt coverage was okay. The Dawgs surrendered 27 yards per kickoff return and just 11 yards on three punt returns.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins came through with another big game, hauling in six receptions for 51 yards. He's on track to put up some big numbers this year.

The Bad

Washington averaged 3.0 yards per play while LSU averaged 6.2. Enough said.
52 rushes for 272 yards and four touchdowns. That was the stat line from the LSU backfield. Going into the game the plan was to force the Tigers to throw the ball. That mission wasn't accomplished.
LSU registered four sacks while the Huskies didn't get to Mettenberger once.
47.2-percent: Keith Price's completion percentage. He's normally a very efficient offensive player. On Saturday he had to have one of his toughest nights of his entire football career. There just weren't open receivers and he didn't have long to sling it.
33:39. That's how long LSU had the ball. And it's not a surprising stat, given the fact that LSU rushed the ball 52 times to the 24 times the Dawgs ran it.
