Go to bed. If LSU doesn't make the playoffs this year it will never happen with BK. At least those Les teams had a defense and can recruit on the DL. Kelly loses games in the trenches. Been like that his entire career. Just wait, and make reservations to a meaningless bowl game. They whiff out, Woody and him need to go. Especially with a new president coming in.

Les never understood the need for a good OC and could not fathom the QB position.

Game 2 Tenn - Get out to a big lead, offense goes into a shell the whole 2nd half instead of staying aggressive and lets the opponent hang around instead of putting them away. Famously tried to call a timeout immediately after an interception when the clock was already stopped, foreshadowing his clock mismanagement that would plague his future tenure. Offense sputters in OT and has to kick a FG and Tenn scores a walkoff TD. Classic frustrating loss


You forgot to mention the debacle at the end of the first half. Time is about to run out and LSU is in field goal range. Russell is about to spike the ball; however he sees the entire field goal team running out on the field, which then precludes him from spiking the ball and the half runs out. Les, during the halftime interview for TV, blames Russell. Foreshadowing indeed. And then butchers the second half as noted above.
