The first SEC win for Tigers coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] came in impressive fashion.
In Saturday night’s conference opener at home against Mississippi State, LSU had to battle back from a 13-0 deficit in the first half. But thanks to a very impressive defensive performance and a 21-point fourth quarter as a result of some powerful running down the stretch, the Tigers sit at 1-0 in SEC play after a 31-16 win.
Just two weeks removed from a disappointing performance in the season-opening loss to Florida State, the Tigers look like a vastly improved team. With upcoming games against New Mexico and Auburn, who lost big at home to Penn State on Saturday, this team could be 4-1 entering the meat of the SEC schedule.
Here’s what Kelly said after the huge win for his team.
