Our team possessed some men play their butts off tonight and also our company're resting right here again, our team're sitting here once more referring to the same traits!"

They had every right to be confident," USC instructor Lincoln Riley pointed out of LSU's repulsive line. "Yet so did our team. Our company simply really did not refer to it in the media." Of the thirteen 3rd downs the Tigers encountered, they converted an initially down only 5 times. After they slashed a go-ahead goal in the 3rd fourth, the upcoming 4 LSU drives led to pair of puntings, a basket and also an interception through Nussmeier that sealed the end result."
