Well, that was exactly what the doctor ordered.
After a tough loss, its always nice to thoroughly dominate an outmatched foe, but this took things to a new level. Brian Kelly was able to start emptying his bench in the second quarter, as LSU jumped out to a 37-0 lead in the first.
It’s not often you get to bring in the backup quarterback with ten minutes left in the second quarter, but there was really no point to risk any injury to the starter after twenty minutes. The game was already over.
Heck, the biggest drama left after the first quarter was how the bands would perform at halftime.
