Twitter reacts to LSU’s beatdown of Purdue in the Citrus Bowl
We’ve seen opt-outs affect bowl games before, and even some premier bowl matchups are frequently lopsided affairs.
But Monday’s Citrus Bowl was on another level. The game was never even in doubt as LSU absolutely smothered Purdue in Orlando in a 63-7 victory in which it outgained the Boilermakers 594-256, with the vast majority of the latter’s offensive production coming in garbage time.
The Tigers get their 10th win in Brian Kelly’s debut season on the bayou, and with Jayden Daniels — who got the start and played as well as he has all year — returning in 2023, this team should have a lot of momentum.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the big win.

Brian Kelly gets LSU to 10 wins in year one. LSU did what it needed to do today. Complete game on both sides of the ball.
Expectations will be sky high entering 2023.

LSU gets a 99-yd pick 6 in the final minute of the game, because that’s just how it’s going today.

Gotta say, pretty cool to be out in New Orleans and watch everyone go nuts when Tulane and LSU score at the same time.
