Summary: Brian Kelly suffered the worst loss of his FBS coaching career on Saturday when Josh Heupel and the Tennessee Volunteers routed LSU 40-13 in Tiger Stadium. Tennessee remains undefeated and LSU is now 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in SEC play. The Tigers seemed doomed from the very beginning when sophomore WR Jack Bech muffed the kickoff and Tennessee recovered the ball and scored a touchdown. LSU was down early and the special teams woes continued after giving up a 58-yard punt return setting Tennessee up for a field goal to go up 10-0 early. Brian Kelly's strategy was to keep the ball out of Tennessee's hands and limit their number of possessions by going for it on fourth down three times. But LSU converted on zero of those attempts, giving Tennessee great field possession to march down the field and score. However, there were a few silver linings to an otherwise brutal game for LSU. Brian Kelly was very clear that he wanted QB Jayden Daniels to take more risks and throw the ball more, which he did. Jayden Daniels threw for 300 yards, the most he has thrown for since November 2019, and added a touchdown and interception on the day. While Daniels missed several open targets downfield, sometimes not even throwing it their way, Daniels was at least able to use the passing game more than he has in an LSU uniform even when the offensive line was missing two starters in Will Campbell and Garrett Dellinger. Overall, it was a day of coaching mistakes and on-the-field blunders that kept LSU out of the game with a solid Tennessee team. Brian Kelly said he needs to coach better – but what exactly does that mean and how can this team turn things around before a road trip to play the Florida Gators in the Swamp?
