LAS VEGAS — Ever been to a good Vegas show? The singing, dancing and theatrics. The smoke, lights and smells.
We saw one on Sunday night, not in some dingy casino ballroom or a dark hotel lobby, but in a football palace erected just off Las Vegas Boulevard. There was plenty of smoke (pregame fireworks caused a haze to linger for three quarters). There were lead characters and main actors (Heisman Trophy replacement quarterbacks Miller Moss and Garrett Nussmeier). There was even dancing (one LSU player was flagged for a hip-thrusting jig in the second quarter).
