Brian Kelly’s first game at LSU was a special teams disaster. The Tigers lost 24-23 to Florida State on Sunday night after they had two kicks blocked and dropped two points. The final blocked kick came on a game-tying extra point with no time left after Jaray Jenkins caught a two-yard TD pass from Jayden Daniels. LSU and Kelly could have gone for two and the win but instead played for overtime in New Orleans. That turned out to be the wrong decision as Florida State’s Shyheim Brown prevented… Source link
