Brian Kelly had an interesting moment during the ninth-ranked LSU Tigers' season opener at the fourth-ranked Clemson Tigers on Saturday night.In the fourth quarter, during a second-and-10 play, Dabo Swinney's quarterback Cade Klubnik lobbed a pass down the field. While the camera followed the ball, Kelly was clobbered by a referee on the sidelines. After the unintentional collision, he crashed to the ground before being helped up by his coaching staff.This was not the only highlight of Kelly's season opener as LSU managed to secure a 17-10 victory at Clemson Memorial Stadium, starting off the 2025 season on a positive note.Dabo Swinney's team had a 10-3 lead heading into halftime. However, LSU quickly regained its offensive composure in the second half. In the third quarter, Caden Durham scored a 2-yard rushing touchdown to tie the score. Garett Nussmeier then found Trey'Dez Green with an 8-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter in what proved to be the game-winning score.Brian Kelly has been with the Tigers since 2022. Last year, he helped them to a 9-4 record but failed to qualify for the 12-team College Football Playoff. They did, however, secure a Texas Bowl victory over the Baylor Bears.Brian Kelly shares his thoughts on LSU's season opener victory against the Clemson TigersIn the postgame interview with Molly McGrath, Brian Kelly heaped praise on his players for their performance against the Clemson Tigers."Obviously, you know, you have to put the first half behind you," Kelly said. "And we talked about, you just got to be cleaner in the second half, and I thought we did a great job."We pressured Cade (Klubnik) when he got outside the pocket. ... Look, this is a hard place to play. I mean, it's a top five team, on the road and our guys were down a half, and they don't lose when they're up at half. And our guys persevered, great character. Look, I can talk about a million things, but it's individuals and these players refused to do anything else but find a way to win, and I'm so proud of them."Brian Kelly's team next takes on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Tiger Stadium on Saturday. It will be broadcast on SECN+ and ESPN+ at 7:30 pm ET. Can they make the 12-team playoff this year?
