LSU head coach Brian Kelly was not thrilled with how his team’s game vs USC ended.

On Sunday night, Kelly’s LSU team lost their season-opener against USC by giving up a fourth-quarter lead.

During his postgame press conference, Kelly blasted his team for getting complacent and having a “killer instinct” while having a lead.

“It’s the first time since I’ve been here (at LSU) that I’m angry at my football team.”

“It’s clear that when we get up in a game we don’t know how to handle ourselves, you 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, but we get complacent, we make more mistakes when we’re ahead instead of having a better focus and steely-eyed killer instinct”

A fired-up Kelly would later take the blame for the team’s loss.

“We’re sitting here (*punches table*) AGAIN talking about the same things!… I’m so angry about it that I gotta do something about it! I’m not doing a good enough job as a coach… It’s ridiculous! It’s crazy!”
