Brian Kelly is going to do amazing things at LSU

[@tjrose9830]

This why he left Norte Dame so he can finally beat Alabama

[@RobbieStacks90]

His 2012 ND team was up against an all-time Alabama team and had a really bad QB. In the only game Alabama lost that year, they were favored by three touchdowns against Texas A&M IIRC.

[@ckillian-detail6153]

At Notre dame the Alabama team he played was almost twice as good. This Alabama team is very average

[@tjrose9830]

@@ckillian-detail6153 That “Average” Alabama team still got top 3 recruiting class for every year basically. How can Norte Dame compete when Alabama got 5 stars redshirts.

[@chriskay1449]

Meanwhile, Notre Dame mauled Clemson.

[@skylark2001]

bama isn’t that good anymore. 2020 bama and 2012 bama were some of saban’s best teams ever

[@TotallyCompton2023]

Hey LSU fans. I just want to say congratulations on beating Bama. What a great game! I know you guys are going nuts right now. Much respect to Brain Kelly going for two, what a call from a head coach. Just a unreal day of Collegefootball.

Yea to get in they have to beat Ole Miss on the road & LSU would have to lose twice, then they would have to beat the SEC East Champ all just to get in the playoffs, It’s just not Alabamas year this year, it’d be pretty cool to watch them in a NY6 bowl against Clemson or something

If any lsu fan wasn’t a believer in Kelly by now that call alone should win you over. Felt a little bit like the ole “hat” les Miles with some of his gutsy calls

[@jonathanyoung9369]

And that is where the comparisons stop.

[@lwebs-]

He knew he capped out with ND’s resources. Kelly is a high IQ guy, he came to LSU so he could get over the hump and win a National Championship

[@WackyTerky]

I honestly don't even think its that. I believe its got more to do with his style of recruiting is better suited to LSU than what he was doing at ND. The way Freeman is setting up that program could be a real problem for us in the coming years.
