The LSU Tigers hired former Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly to help them win games, and they gave Kelly just over $100 million over the next 10 years to do it.
It appeared that Kelly’s new team was on the way to at least overtime against Florida State in their 2022 opener, under the most improbable of circumstances. The Tigers were down 24-10 late in the fourth quarter until quarterback Jayden Daniels hit receiver Jaray Jenkins for a 22-yard touchdown with 4:07 left in the game, and then, with 1:20 left in the game, Florida State running back Treshaun Ward fumbled a pitch from quarterback Jordan Travis at the LSU one-yard line.
