LSU’s frustration was on full display at the end of the game, when offensive lineman Josh Boutte was ejected for a flagrant foul after a vicious blind-side hit on Wisconsin’s D’Cota Dixon after the safety sealed the win with an interception with 57 seconds left. You can catch all the action live on ABC, or stream it online via WatchESPN on your pc, phone, tablet, or other device. Steve Levy, Brian Griese, and Todd McShay have the call. Well, that was until coach Les Miles had something to say about it.

But Wisconsin certainly doesn’t want to put everything on the back of Houston.
Some of the Tigers have their eyes on a prized tradition inside of Lambeau Field, especially LSU cornerback Tre’Davious White.
“I’m just looking forward to returning a punt and trying to Lambeau leap, I know Coach Miles won’t be happy with it, but I’m just looking forward to it”.
At times it seemed like the Badgers were going to squander away their upset bid. The kind that could enhance UW’s growing-but-not-yet-solidified national reputation. “And we beat them”, Clement said. The Tigers are just an appetizer with Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State still awaiting the Badgers – and that’s just within the first six games of the year.
LSU hadn’t lost out of conference in 14 years with 52 consecutive wins. They call LSU “DBU” for a reason. Any chance they can do it? Three plays into Wisconsin’s next drive, wideout George Rushing was stripped and White pounced on the loose ball. The Tigers also bring back QB Brandon Harris, who could take a step forward and give LSU a little more balance. The Badgers have never played at Lambeau, but they are familiar with it and even visited it last spring. Meanwhile, Lambeau will be a new experience for the Tigers.
SEC powers rarely venture out of the South, especially to play Big Ten opponents.

-LSU played classic bend-but-don’t-break defense in the first half to keep the Tigers in the game. He was tackled by the shoe string more in this game than he was all of previous year. The Badgers defense pitched a shutout well into the third quarter, forcing two fumbles and frustrating Harris. These two met in 2014, with LSU picking up a 28-24 victory on a neutral field. His team was 2 of 10 on third-down conversions. It’s the first meeting between the two teams. The big question is can Bart Houston do much for the Badgers in the pass game.
