Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers survived an upset scare on Saturday night in Death Valley after taking down the South Carolina Gamecocks 20-10 in a Week 7 SEC clash.

After falling to the Ole Miss Rebels in Week 5 prior to last week's open date, the Bayou Bengals are back in the win column with the program remaining in the College Football Playoff picture.

"I was pleased with some things that we did that we have not been doing. We ran the ball with more effectiveness and got the ball to Trey’Dez Green," Kelly said. "I was pleased about that.”

“But, certainly, you can’t get down on the one-yard line three times and come up with three points. And I think we all know that. But what I loved was our compete. I loved the way our guys competed for four quarters; our fans stayed in there with us."

LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green stole the show in Baton Rouge after hauling in eight receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown after a career-night to lift the Tigers to a win.

Now, the Bayou Bengals are back on the map with a win while cruising inside the Top-10 of the latest AP Top-25 Poll.

"Now, we got to put it together. It’s not good enough to say, ‘Hey, we’ve arrived.’ We certainly have not," Brian Kelly said on Saturday.

"And we’ve got to do some things better on defense as well. You know, some coverage things, some fits."

The Associated Press has revealed the updated Top-25 on Sunday after a chaotic week in college football. Where did the LSU Tigers land?
