Claimson, SC – Agitation Coach Brian Kelly did not have to pound the table after this season opener.
Number 9 LSU finished its five-game losing streak in openers 17-10 win At number 4 Clemson On Saturday night, the record-setting quarterbacks that Buro and his high-uproar crime became undefeated and captured the CFP National Championship in 2019.
In a game that was expected to have a shootout between the potential NFL first round pics Garat nusmier And Cad ClubanicLSU’s multi-fatal defense stole the show by closing Claimson in the second half and limiting the tigers to 31 rush yard.
Kelly said, “You have some patience and you have found the character, and these children expressed all doubts and said,” You know what? It doesn’t matter. “
A year ago, Kelly was so disappointed after losing the USC 27-20 in his opener in Las Vegas that she climbed a table with her fist and almost knocked on her bottle of water.
“We are sitting here again … We are sitting here again,” Kelly said last year. “Talking about the same things, when you are a opponent in the event of removing them, not to end.”
This was not a problem on Saturday night. After LSU finally moved nussmeier’s 8-yard touchdown to the tight end Trageage Green With 12:18 to play, LSU’s Rupery Defense stopped Clamson’s crime at fourth place on LSU 33 and forced to be three-and-out in the next possession.
With about a minute to play with the 15-yard line of LSU after Cla with Claimson, linebacker Herold Perkins JRForced Klubnik to roll out and throw an incomplete pass on the fourth.
Kelly said, “We have crimes here in the last few years that can transfer football.” “We needed to complement it with a rescue that could raise the test. You go on the road and play a top -5 team, you better bring a defense.”
LSU allowed 24.3 points per game after finishing 14th in SEC in scoring defense in 2024, Tigers invested heavily on that side of the ball in Offsen. Kelly has said that LSU has spent about $ 18 million on this year’s roster.
New people like defensive end Patrical petan (Florida State) and Jack Pyburn (Florida), Tackle Bernard Gooden (South Florida), Cornerback Monsoor delan (Virginia tech) and safari Tamarakas coli (Neck state) and AJ Hallsi (Houston) was a major contributor against Claimson.
LSU had only two sacks, but took Clubik’s running lane and harassed him on several plays. He completed 19 out of 38 passes for 230 yards with 1 interception.
Perkins, who torn the ACL in his left knee in the fourth game of the 2024 season, tackled 1½ for damage, 1 sack and 2 quortback pressure.
“The first game returned, really good things,” Defense of LSU Blake Baker said about Perkins. “Again, he does things that a lot of humans cannot do on this earth. There is a lot to be better, and he will be the first person to tell you. His effort, his intensity, the way he leads on the sideline was all the sports.”
The crime of LSU was perfect. The tigers had two expensive fambles in the first half, which included one in the 12-yard line of Claimson. Nevertheless, LSU had 354 yards of crime and 25 first down and dominated the second half by controlling the clock for its ongoing game.
Nussmeier completed 28 out of 38 passes for 230 yards with 1 touchdown.
“To win such a game, you know it was not very beautiful and we scored 17 points, but are coming here on the road and breaking the losing streak and all this, it is exciting for our program,” Nusmier said. “It is very large. It’s a speed booster and a confident booster.”
LSUs will play at home in their next three matches, Louisiana Tech, No. 15 Florida and FCS program against South -East Louisiana, again before hitting on the road.
“Listen, this victory is big,” Kelly said. “There is no doubt. There is a boomerang effect, but they had faith in this game. We just have to do what we are doing.”
