LSU Finally Delivers on the Promise of Change, and Is Rewarded vs. Texas

AUSTIN, Texas – The first chapter of this story—LSU 45, Texas 38—begins far away from here, some 1,300 miles north in fact, well beyond the stifling heat of Texas’s heart. This story begins at Lambeau Field, where the freshly brewed beer is as cold as the bone-chilling winters, where the salted cheeses are even nicer than those cool summer nights. It begins there. I saw it. I was there when LSU opened the 2016 season against Wisconsin in the Packers stadium, a hoard of traveling purple-clad fans expecting a brand-spanking new spread offense to unfold on a field with so much historic greatness.
