After 10 minutes of the first quarter I kept hearing the song swing low sweet chariot coming to take me home..https://www.youtube.
And
as my sister and I talked about how those coaches and sports media hype the
ability of the college football players just to create excitement, and to help
sell football tickets, and make people like us to tune into the game. We were
sinking low into reconciling each other that we have been lied to once again
about LSU up front lineman ability. Because we are going to really lose this first
LSU college football game since a very long time ago, losing LSU first game to
West Virginians in 1996. Wisconsin out gained LSU 182-16 on the
ground in the first half and LSU looked over matched and fresh out of
answers.
As
the game finally went into the 4 quarter and my sister and I were not talking
hardly at all, grieving over this impending loss. A long pass to the LSU wide receiver
went for a LSU touchdown. Making the score Wisconsin Badgers 24 to LSU 17.
Then
the LSU defense that was getting ripped by the Wisconsin running backs. Clamp
down on the Wisconsin rushing game and the Badgers through a pass interception
instead. I immediately called my sister and told her I can't go through this
anymore and I was going to give up looking at LSU playing football this year.
As
she told me her stomach was in knots as her words said, "are right tigers
go score on them guys"
Ha
ha ha. My easy chair became a place of anxiety as LSU really did go score another
touchdown as Kenny Hilliard broke loose on an off tackle long run.
LSU 28 Wisconsin 24.
Waahoo! Holy molly LSU was on fire and showed the power that stole the victory from Wisconsin in the last and final quarter.
Ha ha ha ha. Wow! Winning is so much better than losing that
I am once again all thrilled and content with my LSU fighting tiger college
football team. Until the next game in the new dressed up LSU Tiger Stadium...Ha ha
ha. Sorry Wisconsin your chance at victory has come and gone, because the LSU
fighting tiger have won again.
Down but
never out, Tigers rally past Wisconsin 28-24 in season opener

HOUSTON —
Call it a comeback.
It surely was.
No. 13 LSU stormed back from a 17-point third-quarter
deficit, scoring 21 unanswered to beat No. 14 Wisconsin 28-24 on Saturday night
in a mostly purple-and-gold filled NRG Stadium.
The Tigers opened the season with a win for the 12th straight
year, and they extended a nation-leading, nonconference regular-season winning
streak to 46 games.
They did it in the most spectacular, scintillating and
heart-racing way.
They went from worst to first, from dead to ahead. They rose
from the artificial turf at the Houston Texans’ home stadium, awoke a comatose
crowd and outlasted a Big Ten squad that controlled the game for nearly three
quarters.
“We’re a blue-collar team that’ll fight like hell,” LSU
coach Les Miles said after accepting the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff trophy in a
midfield ceremony. “It was a tale of two halves.”
Oh, wasn’t it.
Down 24-7 with eight minutes left in the third quarter, LSU
rode running back Kenny Hilliard, tackle-breaking receiver John Diarse and an
interception-crazed defense to a resounding victory over the Badgers.
The Tigers scored 21 points — two touchdowns, a two-point
conversion and a pair of field goals — in exactly 13 minutes of game time.
Everyone, it seemed, had a hand in what was the
second-largest comeback of the Miles era.
Hilliard ran for 93 yards in the fourth quarter and scored a
touchdown, Diarse broke three tackles during a 36-yard touchdown catch and
LSU’s defense came alive to stuff the Badgers and pick them off.
Wisconsin had 32 yards on 19 plays in its final five drives.
