“Played Small Ball”: LSU Great Puts Blame on Lane Kiffin After Poor Start to Season

LSU handed Lane Kiffin a reported $91 million contract and spent roughly $40 million on its roster. Apparently, money can buy talent, but not consistency. Six games into his first season, the Tigers are 4-2, have already lost twice in SEC play, and have crashed out of the Top 10. And LSU legend Tyrann Mathieu is questioning why a coach famous for taking risks is suddenly playing it safe. The latest embarrassment came against Kentucky. LSU led 27-24 with 1:46 remaining, but Kiffin decided to punt on fourth-and-one from his own 43.
