Brian Kelly's Take: LSU in Search of Complementary Football

"Our defense is playing well, and in particular, you just look to the Ole Miss game where we did not play efficiently enough offensively to start the game. In the first half, got ourselves behind and then played well in the second half and had an opportunity to win the game.

"You can't leave yourself open to the last play of the game, the last series of the game, a key stop. We just need to play a complete game where our offense complements our defense and special teams.

"That hasn't shown itself yet, but it will. We've worked hard on that. Our players have committed to that, and now we'll get an opportunity to show ourselves against a really good South Carolina team."
