Our experts possessed some men play their buttocks off tonight and also our experts're sitting listed here once again, our team're sitting listed here once again referring to the very same factors!"

Of the thirteen 3rd downs the Tigers encountered, they transformed a first down only 5 opportunities. After they scored a go-ahead goal in the 3rd one-fourth, the next 4 LSU pushes resulted in 2 punts, a basket and also an interception by Nussmeier that sealed the end result."
