Brian Kelly walked into Baton Rouge as the most accomplished coach the program had ever hired. But after his first game at LSU, the veteran coach will have to go back to the drawing board.
It was a disastrous debut against the Florida State Seminoles on Sunday night. The Tigers were outplayed until the fourth quarter when a late push made things close and looked like it would send the game to overtime. LSU scored the potential game-tying touchdown as time expired, but a missed assignment allowed the extra-point attempt to be blocked.
FSU left the Superdome with a shocking 24-23 win, and Kelly had to answer for a supremely disappointing debut. Fans and national observers weren’t thrilled by the debut either. Here’s how the internet reacted.
