LSU Scores 35… and Still Loses 😳 How Did This Happen in the Texas Bowl?

LSU’s offense finally delivered — but it still wasn’t enough.

The Tigers put up 35 points in a heartbreaking 38–35 loss to Houston in the Texas Bowl, wasting their best offensive performance of the season as a defense missing six starters simply couldn’t get enough stops.

In this episode, we break down how LSU moved the ball at will, why the shorthanded defense struggled to contain the Cougars, and the key moments that ultimately swung the game.

We also dive into several major takeaways, including:

How does Harlem Berry finish with only THREE rushing attempts?

Why LSU’s offensive success made the loss even more frustrating

What this game revealed about LSU’s roster depth on defense

Why Trey’Dez Green’s two-touchdown performance makes him a must-keep priority for Lane Kiffin

Early clues about what Kiffin needs to address immediately heading into 2026

A wild bowl game, big offensive numbers, glaring questions — and plenty for LSU fans to debate heading into the offseason.
