Brian Kelly has a fiery press conference after LSU loss to USC

LSU lost its fifth consecutive season opener and third under head coach Brian Kelly.

In LSU’s postgame comments, Brian Kelly made it no secret that he was absolutely livid with his team’s performance. Undisciplined penalties and a lack of killer instinct had the veteran coach fuming. Here are a couple of the highlights.

Brian Kelly: “It’s the first time since I’ve been here that I’m pretty angry at our football team….from a big picture, we didn't play complimentary football…the thing that is most concerning for me is the personal fouls. The penalties are selfish. Both of them led to scores.They’re undisciplined penalties and effectively they fall back on me. We take part in running a disciplined program but we have clearly not done a good enough job there because it impacted the game.”

On not having success playing with a lead

“Unfortunately, it's clear that when we get up in a game, we do not know how to handle ourselves. You got to have a killer instinct in this game. You got to put teams away. We had an opportunity to put this team away and we get complacent, we make more mistakes when we’re ahead instead of having a better focus and a steely eyed killer instinct. And that’s disappointing and so I’m angry at those things that I have to do a better job at shaping that in this group…those two things just eat at me and they got to get fixed.
