No. 4 LSU had its first stumble of the season. The Tigers of Brian Kelly lost to Lane Kiffin’s No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels in a game that could be key to the prospects of the SEC. The Rebels won 24-19, which will surely propel them up the ranks in the AP Poll as they move to an undefeated 5-0 record.

So far, LSU has been emerging as one of the favorites for the national championship title. However, an impressive performance by Ole Miss’s offense has started to cast some doubt on that possibility. Fans weren’t too happy about how things went for the Baton Rouge school, with people taking to social media to express their discontent.
“BENCH NUSS HOW HARD IS THAT. He and Sloan literallly cost us the game. Nuss has regressed since last year.” Demanded one person
“imagine if Jayden Daniels had this defense” Said a fan in disbelief
“Fire Nuss and Fire Kelly and go see wus up with Coach O” Commented another person
Brian Kelly on the hot seat?
“So i hear Jon Gruden is looking for a job” Joked one fan
Some fans aren’t optimistic about LSU’s prospects.
“We are going to lose to A&M, Bama, and OU” Claimed someone
Maybe it’s down to Nussmeier’s physical state?
“We need a serious adult conversation about this QB situation. I still think we have a shot but what are we doing?? Would it not make sense to give Nuss a rest to recover from his injury rather than have a 60% QB week after week?” Said someone
Or is it time to change the offensive coordinator?
“i could get 1 random person in the comments to run the offense better than sloan” Complained another individual
