Florida State spoils Brian Kelly's LSU coaching debut: 'The reality is we've got some learning to do'

NEW ORLEANS -- Brian Kelly's debut as LSU's head football coach didn't lack for drama.

After rallying from 14 points down in the fourth quarter Sunday night against Florida State -- and needing only an extra point to send the game into overtime -- the Tigers saw their comeback bid come to an abrupt halt when Seminoles defensive back Shyheim Brown blocked Damian Ramos' kick to secure the 24-23 victory for Florida State.

It was the second blocked kick of the night for Florida State, which blocked an LSU field goal attempt in the first half.
