Our LSU Sports Insider crew is back two days after the Tigers' loss to USC in Las Vegas. Beat writers Wilson Alexander and Reed Darcey and host Zach Ewing break down the defeat, both from a standpoint of what went wrong and with a focus on coach Brian Kelly's postgame comments.

And how much should Tigers fans be panicking right now? We answer those questions and more in this episode. #lsu #geauxtigers #secfootball #lsufootball #ncaafootball
