2024 A&M game : how different is BK’s tenure if we win that game ?

Me and my buddies were talking some Tiger football today about the BK era and he made a point that the vibes under Brian Kelly died after the A&M loss in 2024. In peak offseason boredom I decided to go back and watch highlights of that game and man it’s crazy how high the vibes were in the first half of that game. We were 6-1, ranked into the top 10, and got up 17-7 at Kyle field. It’s crazy how fast the wheels fell off when nussmeier throw that pick and Marcel Reed was inserted.
Dillinger going down was killer.We would go on to go 1-4 in ranked matchups for the rest of Brian Kelly’s tenure with the one win being the Clemson game. How different is the rest of the Brian Kelly era if that meltdown never happened ?

I can't wait for aggies to realize the chain of events they sparked, causing us to become their overlords once again.
Even when they're winning, they're losing.

Idk that I agree. I think people forget in hindsight given how the season played out how absolutely lit we were to have beaten Clemson this year. Remember, before the year, we ALL expected LSU to be a playoff team and the big stumbling block and addition an another loss that could end up biting us in the butt was Clemson. We had no idea that they and we would both suck. Vibes were incredibly high after opening weekend.
Little did we know…..

Remember how dumb everyone on here said Dabo was when he made the test grade comment? Lol

It might have delayed the inevitable, but it was never going to work out long term.

Guilty as charged there for sure lol I thot we were legit natty challengers with the way we dominated Clemson that 2nd half. Turns out dabo spot on his assessment. Those were two average at best teams having a mid off in hindsight once Clemson struggled badly vs Troy that’s when I became worried about how impressive that win truly was

Whether it’s BK or Lane, Baker still needs to prove he can stop a running QB

Would winning that game have made BK work hard and not play golf and send others to recruit?

This year after the Clemson game, I was pumped for the season. Then all we do is run the same plays over and over again. After the third game, I knew we were screwed.it was like they were using Les miles plays. Right up the middle for no gain.

Would have prolonged the inevitable....BK checked out.

Agreed, something changed in him after the JD heisman season. I think he knew that was his best chance and the defense absolutely blew it.

People crowing LSU after the Clemson game were high on their own supply. That was a game between 2 bad teams. We were just least worse.

Funny that the 2024 8-4 game at their house started the demise of BK and then finished him off a year later in Tiger stadium. In hindsight I want to thank Faggie nation.

While bad, don't undersell that absolute arse kicking Bama handed us in Tiger Stadium that November. That game was essentially over before the 1st Qtr ended. I can't believe I drove to BR and sat in the rain for that nonsense. Team was completely unprepared and got prison raped.

What made that game even more embarrassing were the amount of big time recruits at that game.Bryce underwood ,Jackson Stewart and Dakorien Moore were all there to witness that asskicking. BK simply never had the team ready to play in big time matchups

I never had faith in this guy. I was fair and willing to give him a shot but the writing was on the wall the whole time.
Also we still would’ve gotten our asses kicked by bama the following weeks. One thing BK was consistent at in his time here, was not having his teams ready to go for big games. Guys a loser.

I think we would have been too much for Alabama to handle the following week if the 2nd half against A&M went like the 1st. It was clear in that game that the entire team had no confidence on both sides of the ball. Was very sad to watch.

To lose the way we lost to bama off a bye week was what made that game even harder to stomach. Looked utterly unprepared on both sides of the ball. There was no fire , energy or LSU swagger . Kelly did a poor job galvanizing the team after that A&M Loss cuz the Florida game the week after the bama loss was rough to watch too .
