Amid its three-game losing streak, LSU provided fans with a reason for excitement on Monday. The Tigers unveiled their new gold jersey that will be worn on Saturday as they try to end their skid when they host Vanderbilt in a prime-time matchup. LSU fell out of the AP Top 25 after its 27-16 loss to Florida that dropped its record to 6-3, but it remained in the second edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings , dropping seven spots to No.
22. The loss to the Gators was particularly demoralizing for the Tigers, as head coach Brian Kelly was involved in multiple back-and-forths with players that were caught on camera. He was initially seen yelling at a player, and he was later seen getting yelled at by another.
"This is a simple exercise of do you want to fight or not?" Kelly said after the game. "Do you want to fight and take responsibility as coaches and players that we're not playing well and we're struggling right now? There's a rough spot here that we have to fight through, and we have to do it together." The loss to Florida guarantees that Kelly won't lead his team to a 10-win season for the first time in eight years.
He had reached the mark in his last five seasons as Notre Dame head coach followed by back-to-back 10-win seasons in his first two years at LSU. The Tigers will be surely motivated to end their skid when they meet the 6-4 Commodores on Saturday, and their new jerseys should fuel them even more..
