LSU finally is able to run the ball and it leads to a TD. It’s 17-13. Horrible clock management by Lincoln Riley in final minute. He lets a lot time pass before calling a timeout because he thought USC had a first down (it didn’t). That forces a field goal later, which USC missed. Has Bear Alexander played?

So it’s demotion for Denis Lynch, who has been the kicker the past two seasons. Lincoln Riley didn’t bother to include the kickers in his depth chart released Thursday. “He played sparingly his freshman year … Continue reading Bear Alexander “Has A Long Ways To Go”
