Brian Kelly could be coaching in an SEC Championship Game in his first season at LSU. Kelly’s Tigers stayed perfect against the SEC West, defeating Arkansas 13-10 on Saturday in Fayetteville. An Ole Miss loss to Alabama clinches the division title for the Tigers.

Saturday’s win in the Battle for the Golden Boot lacked in offensive highlights. 5-star freshman Harold Perkins carried the LSU defense with a monster game for a national audience. Perkins actually threw up before the game, Kelly revealed.

Arkansas entered the game 5-4 coming off a loss to Liberty and dropped to 5-5 on the year. Kelly wasn’t surprised that LSU got the Razorbacks’ best shot on a cold Saturday in Fayetteville. The first-year head coach is just glad the Tigers found a way to leave with the victory.

Here are some more highlights from Kelly’s postgame comments shared by media members at the game:
