NEW ORLEANS — The most astonishing coaching hire in LSU football history called for a grand entrance, and the Superdome delivered.
Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers took the field Sunday amid pyrotechnics worthy of a Pink Floyd concert. Transfer quarterback Jayden Daniels prolonged the fiery entrance with a 25-yard run on LSU’s first play from scrimmage.
And then the Tigers flamed out.
LSU’s 24-23 loss to Florida State on Sunday served as a dud opening to the Kelly era.
A blunder-filled game fittingly ended when Shyheim Brown blocked Damian Ramos' extra point with no time left.
