LSU faces backlash from fans and media as Texas A&M upset dashes Playoff hopes

Brian Kelly and LSU saw their College Football Playoff hopes go up in smoke at Kyle Field on Saturday night as Texas A&M delivered its biggest win of the season. The Aggies prevailed 38-23 to finish the season 5-7. LSU fell to 9-3 with the SEC Championship Game on deck next week in Atlanta against Georgia.

It was a tight game into the third quarter as there were 2 ties until the Aggies pulled away with 3 straight touchdowns, including one where LSU QB Jayden Daniels’ fumbled.

Devon Achane had a huge game for Texas A&M with 34 carries for 201 yards and 2 touchdowns as he added to that total when the Aggies ran out the clock late.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction:

I see LSU is getting the FULL Brian Kelly experience. I wish you well on this journey of disappointment ??? https://t.co/hrEPQ5PrDJ

Sure, Notre Dame is losing, but a Brian Kelly coached team is getting smoked with actual CFP stakes and it’s not the Irish!

Sorry, LSU. This is just part of the experience.

If you want to mock or make fun of Brian Kelly losing to an AP Preseason Top 10 team ON THE ROAD in his first year in LSU, you go right ahead!

@CoachBrianKelly better learn tonight you don’t look over teams, not in the SEC. This ain’t Notre Dame. ? #LSUvsTAMU Now even if LSU beats Georgia, it doesn’t mean CRAP.

Is Brian Kelly that clueless that he cannot count? Why do you not kick the extra point? #cluekess @LSUfootball @LSU @CollegeGameDay @barstoolsports He and his QB’s football IQ may add up to 50 combined. @ESPNCFB @kellyinvegas @SECfootball

Fun to see Brian Kelly lose no matter what team he’s coaching. LSU not playoff material.

Wanting Jimbo Fisher to win and end Brian Kelly and LSU’s playoff dream just seems dirty.
