Don’t let the shocking ending to Florida State-LSU completely mask what was obvious from kickoff... Brian Kelly and the Tigers look like a mess, writes RossDellenger
Brian Kelly and LSU lost its season-opener on the last play of the game against Florida State.My father was a longtime high school football coach and served as a special teams coordinator for much of his career, one that ended in retirement just a year ago. On Sunday night, he was in Section 645 of Caesars Superdome to watch one of the most disastrous special-teams performances you’ll ever see from a major conference football program.“Don’t tell me special teams aren’t important!” he texted.
The Tigers took over and improbably put together a 98-yard drive that featured a 5-minute official’s review that gave Kelly’s team one last snap from the 2-yard line. Quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was on the run for most of the night, threw a dart to receiver Jaray Jenkins for the score, eliciting pandemonium from the Tigers fans who stuck around.
For a fleeting second, Kelly says he thought about eschewing a kick attempt for a two-point conversion. “What we’ve learned is, we’ve got to coach better. I’m accountable for that,” Kelly said.
