All I’m going to say is, his team has won these last 2 games against better talent.

I don't think South Carolina is a more "talented" team. LSU has some guys who can play. This isn't the little sisters of the poor. But winning on the road in conference is always tough and always an accomplishment. Kentucky, on the other hand, definitely has more talent man for man, and LSU found a way just to be tougher than them last night. Except for the final 2:00 of the first half (where McMahon put in a really curious line up) and the first minute of the 2nd half where LSU looked tired, LSU brought the fight to UK most of the night.

It would have been a shame to see LSU not get the result last night. Particularly when you consider 2 points were retroactively taken off the board. But for the first time in the McMahon tenure you are starting to feel a little bit of a belief. He'll have to sustain success to keep that fire burning. But that fire has to start somewhere, and hopefully it did on Saturday vs. USC and continued last night.
