BATON ROUGE, La. — Correction: In the video, Brooke says LSU is playing Florida next week. They are playing New Mexico, not Florida.
It was a slow start for LSU against Mississippi State. They didn't score a touchdown until the end of the second quarter. But the Tigers' defense was suffocating all game.
And the muffed punt turned the tide for the Tigers. The fans played a huge part in the atmosphere of the 31-16 win. After recovering that fumble, LSU scored 21 unanswered points.
It was a win and a statement that both Brian Kelly and Jayden Daniels needed to make.
Daniels proved that he's not just a running back. As a dual threat, he can be successful, but we'll see how he handles it going forward.
