It was ugly tonight against Texas A&M. There’s no sugarcoating it. LSU was outplayed, outcoached and didn’t look like the same team we’ve been watching the last few weeks.
That being said: this group has achieved more than anyone anticipated in Year 1 of Brian Kelly and have looked like a totally different team the back half of the season compared to the Florida State loss. There’s been tremendous accountability, leadership and growth within the team.
BUT, the Tigers should have won this game. There was no one making plays or providing a spark throughout much of the game. Jayden Daniels missed WRs again and was unable to get into the end zone with his legs or by passing, John Emery carried the rock for 3 scores. Daniels also had the fumble turnover which took the momentum out of the Tigers. We also did not see Matt House’s signature second-half adjustments we’ve become accustomed to all season. A lot of things had to go wrong for LSU while everything had to go right for A&M and that’s exactly what happened.
I’m excited to see what BK and this staff and team can do over the next few years. Next up, Georgia.
