There was a lot of excitement for a new era of LSU football, but after Sunday night, it’s clear that there will be a lot of growing pains under [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag].
The Tigers lost Kelly’s debut 24-23 against Florida State in New Orleans in a game where they struggled mightily across the board but still had a chance to win at the end. A late Seminoles fumble gave them one last drive, and they took advantage with a touchdown as time expired.
A blocked extra-point from Damian Ramos ended any hope of sending the game to overtime, however, as FSU walked away victorious in what was a huge game for coach Mike Norvell. Kelly, meanwhile, will have to wait until next week against Southern in the home opener to try to get his first win.
Here were some of the best shots from the season-opening nailbiter.
