We had some people play their buttocks off tonight and our company're sitting listed below once again, our company are actually sitting below once more referring to the exact same points!"

They had every right to be self-assured," USC coach Lincoln Riley claimed of LSU's offending line. "But therefore performed our experts. We simply failed to talk about it in the media." Of the 13 3rd downs the Tigers encountered, they changed a to begin with down just five times. After they scored a green light touchdown in the 3rd one-fourth, the following 4 LSU drives resulted in two puntings, a field goal as well as an interception through Nussmeier that sealed off the end result."
