| How will you remember LSU's regular season? Will it be for the thrilling victory over Alabama and the big wins over Ole Miss and Florida? Or will it be for the mistakes against Florida State, the blowout by Tennessee and the stunning season-ending loss at Texas A&M?

Wondering what Georgia coach (and former LSU assistant) Kirby Smart had to say about the job Kelly has done and about the Tigers in general? Well, click here and check out his comments. If you haven't had raked over enough of the coals of LSU's 38-23 loss at Texas A&M, check out Wilson Alexander's film study of the game right here.
