We possessed some men play their butts off tonight and also our experts're sitting right here once again, our team're sitting below again talking about the same factors!"

They possessed every right to be positive," USC trainer Lincoln Riley stated of LSU's objectionable line. "However so performed our team. We merely didn't speak about it in the media." Of the thirteen third downs the Tigers encountered, they transformed a first down only five times. After they slashed a consent goal in the 3rd one-fourth, the upcoming four LSU pushes resulted in two punts, a basket as well as an interception through Nussmeier that closed the outcome."
