LSU received the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards, taking a 7-0 lead on Logan Diggs’ 2-yard touchdown run.
Daniels found Thomas for an 86-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead, and Andre Sam intercepted Champ Harris on the second-to-last play of the first quarter, setting up the Tigers at the Black Knights’ 33.
On the second play of the second quarter, Daniels and Thomas teamed on an 8-yard score for a 21-0 lead.
Ovie Oghoufo forced and recovered a fumble by Harris, giving LSU the ball at the Army 37.
