LSU couldn’t pass its first test in the 2024 season, losing to USC on Sunday night in Las Vegas 27-20 after the Trojans successfully capped off a game-winning drive with a 13-yard touchdown from Woody Marks.
Despite the offense accounting for over 400 yards in an efficient regular season starting debut for quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and the defense showing signs of improvement, especially up front, USC still outgained LSU with nearly 450 yards of offense.
It was a disappointing loss, especially in a game the Tigers were driving with a chance to win in the final minutes. With LSU losing its fifth-straight season opener, here’s how fans, media, former players and others reacted.

LSU, you can just schedule McNeese first. You don’t have to do this.

There is ZERO way to convince me that the lifespan of a LSU Football Fan isn’t a solid 4 to 5 years shorter than the average human.

Kyren Lacy really is the next great LSU wideout. Circus catch and immediate unsportsmanlike. Guaranteed five-time all-pro career

Pretty cool seeing two QBs who never lost faith in themselves, or the places they chose to go to, tear it up when they finally get the chance like Nussmeier and Miller Moss have both in the bowl game and here tonight.
