Brian Kelly criticizes team following USC loss: ‘You’ve gotta have a killer instinct in this game’
LSU has to be none too happy to be starting a third straight season at 0-1. Brian Kelly clearly isn’t either based on what he has to say postgame on Sunday.
Kelly expressed his frustration with the Tigers during his press conference following the 27-20 loss for No. 13 LSU to No. 23 USC. He said that its his first time of his three-year tenure there as head coach that he’s as mad as he is at his team.
“It’s the first time since I’ve been here (at LSU) that I’m angry at my football team,” said Kelly.

“We had some guys play their butts off tonight and we’re sitting here again – we’re sitting here again talking about the same things!” said Kelly as he punched the table. “About not finishing when you have an opponent in a position to put them away. But what we’re doing on the sideline is feeling like the game is over. I’m so angry about it that I’ve got to do something about it. I’m not doing a good enough job as a coach.”
“Unfortunately, it’s clear that, when we get up in a game, we do not know how to handle ourselves,” said Kelly. “You’ve got to have a killer instinct in this game. You’ve got to put teams away. We had an opportunity to put this team away. We get complacent, we make more mistakes when we’re ahead instead of having a, you know, better focus and a steely-eyed, killer instinct. That’s disappointing.”
