Punt when up 3 with a minute and a half left and no timeouts.

Punt comes after a hilarious attempt to draw them offsides by Leavitt doing a slow aura walk to the sideline.

And LSU goes into soft ass prevent defense allowing an easy drive to set up a FG.

Then in OT?

Third and 8. You’re up a TD after scoring.

DB goes to show off and go for the pick instead of knocking down or tackling the WR after a catch, and gives up 22 yards leading to an easy run TD.

Then on the 2 point attempt?

Empty set with the most obvious QB draw of all time.

And you don’t spy at all. He walks in.

That was a masterclass from LSU on how to lose a game you had control of defensively. Wow that was pathetic effort

The Lane Kiffin experience

Even then I don’t think he tried to draw a team offsides via JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure tactics in a menacing walk.

Leavett would definitely be one of the Stand users that Jotato would beat 6 ways to Sunday

I can think of a few fanbases who would gladly run a 7 page Muda on kiffin and lsu.

u/aaronman4772 Louisville Cardinals 6d ago

I think literally every single fanbase would like that

Don’t forget that this bozo had a FAKE Kenny Minchey quote posted on a giant screen inside their facility all week to try to motivate his team

u/aaronman4772 Louisville Cardinals 6d ago

The single slimiest and somehow simultaneously dorkiest team of the year and they’re already soundly out of major contention.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

u/khanfusion LSU Tigers 6d ago

Indeed.

When this is all over, at least our schools will both hate Lane Fucking Kiffin.

16

u/DepartureNo1720 Memphis Tigers 6d ago

Lane is somehow going to unite the entire SEC in hating him. Generational assholery

u/Negative_Anteater_62 Auburn Tigers 6d ago

I mean he's basically successfully turned LSU into the villain of College Football. Everyone loves when Lane loses

Kiffin sucks everywhere he goes and I love every minute of it. I feel no remorse to the team’s who hire him.

LSU fans thought I was trolling. I was, but I was also serious.

I love football

Can’t even give older brother credit, eh?

u/Raise_A_Thoth 6d ago

They are just bitter because they went 1-2 in their last 3, but they think getting a win against the Florida State Seminal Vesicles gives them ground to chatter.

u/MegalomaniacHack Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

Also in a game where Kentucky ran a punt back (blocks in the back notwithstanding).

First time?

Stein said after It wasn’t a draw called but Minchey read it after snap and took off

u/yourelivingalie Florida State Seminoles • UCF Knights 6d ago

Not sure if true or not, but it looked like a brilliantly designed 2-pt sequence. Line up with a play that you know you’re not going to run - either Lane is going to call his timeout, or you are. Lane takes the bait and calls timeout. Come back out with a play that has a lot of motion intended to spread out the defense. The linebackers pulled out of the middle with the motion leaving no one to defend the qb run, Lane can’t call timeout because he’s already used it. Qb walks in for the easy win

u/kyxtant Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

To be fair, we left 6 easy points on the field so we should never have needed to beat them in overtime...

7

u/CandyAppleHesperus Centre Colonels • Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

Given how Zouagui kicked, I'm not sure those points were easy

16

u/JoeRedditor5 Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

To be fair, if we had a half decent kicker, it never would have gotten to that point.

u/Blue-Inspiration LSU Tigers 6d ago

All of this.

u/BennyDelSur Ole Miss • South Carolina 6d ago

You’re not turning on him already??

u/Blue-Inspiration LSU Tigers 6d ago

I'm much more upset with Blake Baker in this game than I am with Kiffin. The offense actually played pretty well, which is Kiffin's side of the ball. The defense, once again, was underwhelming on the road.

We’re coming for you birds…

LSU we understand your pain

Prevent defense prevents winning. Rookie mistake.

u/El_Flatulencio 6d ago

And it wasn’t even a called draw play.

u/Herp_McDerp Arizona State • Santa Clara 6d ago

I’m reading this and realizing that while I understand what you’re saying, someone who has never watched football before would be fucking clueless about these words lol

I'm copying and pasting this, and sending it to Governor Jeff Landry if that's ok with you.

You love to see it

No lies detected

u/BlackScienceJesus LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave 6d ago

Blake Baker's play calling was baffling today. Not having a spy on the last play had me screaming at the TV. I thought he was the best in the biz, but he's been unable to control the run game all season.

u/MrKentucky Kentucky Wildcats • /r/CFB Contributor 6d ago

Give the guy some slack. He was going up against one of the best schemers in the biz last night in Joe Sloan.

u/BlackScienceJesus LSU Tigers • Tulane Green Wave 6d ago

Omg I didn't even realize he was employed somewhere. He was a terrorist here.

u/NCAAinDISGUISE Ohio State • College Football Playoff 5d ago

The skycast angle was unreal on the final play. You HAVE to defend against the QB draw on a 5 wide set at the goal line!
