LSU football coach Brian Kelly says he was surprised to see the fans rush the field following Saturday’s 45-20 come-from-behind victory over Ole Miss. Kelly says State Troopers told him the student section was spilling on to the field…
“I didn’t expect it I was doing the interview and the state police grabbed me and said we’ve got to go , and I was like I didn’t think the interview was that bad,” said Kelly.
LSU was fined 250-thousand dollars by the SEC because it was the third time in recent history fans came onto the field following an LSU win. The last time they did it was in 2018 when the Tigers defeated Georgia.
Fines collected by the conference go into the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund.
Kelly says the win over previously unbeaten Ole Miss was a good win for his program, but didn’t think the students would celebrate by coming onto the field.
“It didn’t appear to me that there was anything in my mind that would be a game where we would storm the field, but hey lets do more of it I guess. I don’t mean to do it I mean lets win more,” said Kelly.
You can bet LSU fans will rush the field if they beat sixth ranked Alabama on November 5th.
