Sunday Rewind: LSU's issues exposed at Ole Miss

Bryce Koon and Matthew Brune rewind everything that happened in LSU’s loss to Ole Miss. Where do the Tigers go from here?

LSU has dropped yet again in the AP Poll that was released on Sunday afternoon, falling from No. 4 to No. 13 after the 24-19 loss to Ole Miss on Saturday. The Tigers drop to 4-1 on the season and 1-1 in SEC play, now heading into a bye week before hosting South Carolina.

LSU remains a quality team, but as the crop continues to rise to the top around the country, Brian Kelly’s team will be challenged to elevate their play and head into the second half of the season with heightened urgency.

After the game, head coach Brian Kelly was quick to deflect blame off of any one player or either side of the ball, insisting it was a team effort and something they need to fix together. After the defense’s worst game of the season and another troubling outing from Garrett Nussmeier at quarterback, the Tigers are hopeful their best football is still in front of them.

“Disappointed in the loss, certainly,” Kelly said in his opening statement. “There is a game within the game. You start with the first half, where our inability to sustain anything on the offensive side of the ball put our defense on the field for 50 plays.

“At the end of the day, when you put it all together for four quarters, we didn’t play complementary football, which you have to do in this league. You have to be able to complement your offense and defense. When our offense started to move the ball, our defense couldn’t get the stop.”

The Tigers were outplayed for four quarters on the road and now head back to the drawing board, looking to right the ship before the heart of SEC play arrives. Kelly’s team has yet to put it all together in a year where his team was supposed to be the most balanced and talented across the board that he’s had at LSU.

“This team has to click on all cylinders,” Kelly said. “I believe in this team and I love this group. They are really good football players, and we have to get them complementing each other on a daily basis.”
