The USC Trojans opened the year up with a statement win over LSU on Sunday, taking down an SEC opponent in a neutral site contest. After the game, they let the Tigers know.
The Trojans, and more notably Greedy Vance, viciously trolled their foes after the victory.
The two sides traded blows throughout a competitive matchup, keeping drama at a high. After LSU scored its first touchdown of the season, wide receiver Kyren Lacy made headlines for his controversial celebration, which was aimed at Vance.
Lacy and Vance have history that dates back to the cornerback’s time at Florida State. The Seminoles beat the Tigers each of the last two seasons, with Vance playing a large role in keeping LSU’s offense at bay.
Lacy didn’t forget about his 2023 meeting with Vance, who held the pass catcher to just three receptions.
Free Kyren Lacy he ain’t do nothing wrong

USC would later go onto win, 27-20. Vance wouldn’t miss the opportunity to troll!
Score a touchdown and the first person he worried about is me! I wonder why.

His team would join in on the fun in the locker room!

Keeping with the theme, Trojan players were seen mimicking Lacy and LSU in the locker room celebration.
USC clearly took offense to what had transpired on the field, but they got the last laugh! A disappointed Brian Kelly will try to figure out how to get the Tigers back on track in Week 2.
Lincoln Riley and Co., meanwhile, will coast into a matchup with Utah State next weekend.
