by Staff Reporter

Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports

Las Vegas, NV – Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier threw for 304 yards and two touchdown passes, but a late score from Southern Cal lifted the Trojans past LSU on Sunday night in Las Vegas, 27-20.

Nussmeier found his rhythm quickly with two consecutive 15-yard receptions to junior receiver Kyren Lacy, moving the ball passed midfield in the opening minute of play.

On 4th-and-2 from the LSU 39, Nussmeier found Lacy again for a three yard pickup to move the chains. Nussmeier then found junior tight end Mason Taylor for a 13-yard gain to move the ball to the Trojan 20.

Didn't hear harold Perkins name all night. Thought that was fixed

There’s nothing to fix. He had one good game and was sainted. He’s ok at one thing.

I like the way we stay in the zone and let them have catches in the middle. We are better than last year but not close to the old Tigers!!

Mason Taylor looked good first half and no balls thrown to him 2nd half

Tiger Prawn•8 months

Mason Taylor also whiffed on some blocks that ended up with defenders blowing up plays in the backfield

I saw Pimpton do that several times. Losing Markway was a blow.

Brian Kelly deserves to be on the hottest of seats.

This is trash.

We are gonna have to fire this dude.

They gotta stop with this guaranteed money shite.

Defense had them to 13 points in the 4th quarter. Offense has to do ANYTHING with the ball.

football101•8 months

Agreed, your best defense is a good offense in those situations. Offense needed first downs and they couldn’t do it.

Dflynn9687•8 months

I thought our defense was tightened up? Obviously not

ThomasShelby•8 months

Defense improved DRAMATICALLY! Last year the games were 48-45. If you can’t see where the problem is, put down the alcohol.

Dflynn9687•8 months

The alcohol wasn’t picked up. I probably just worded myself wrong. We were very much improved. My issue was play calling. Like someone else said, we stayed in zone over and over and got beat down with chunk plays all night. Nothing changed.

ThomasShelby•8 months

Zone…man…the DBs got beat a lot. It didn’t matter the coverage. The play calling, communication, tackling, big plays, etc were all improved over last year. This is on the offense. The exact flip of everything we said last year.

ABTigah•8 months

You have to score more than 20 points to win in this era.

saintlad74•8 months

Don't understand running Josh Williams up the middle most of the game. Emery was making some plays and yet they go back to Josh Williams. Have some runs to the outside, use your All American tackles.

Really don't understand the last offensive series. After the 2 minute time out they could have ran the ball once or twice and killed the clock some.

Vernonbrew22•8 months

They settled for a fg instead of going for the win. Coaching plays late. No way a superior team lets that go. Two minutes and they just choked.

Losers lose. Kelley is a loser.

cypresstiger•8 months

They settled for a fg instead of going for the win.
—They went for it on the first series and failed.
