LSU coach Lane Kiffin met with reporters Sunday afternoon after reviewing the film of the Tigers' stunning 35-34 overtime loss at Kentucky, a defeat that left LSU with two Southeastern Conference losses and plenty of questions moving forward.

Among the biggest issues was LSU's defensive performance, including Kentucky's game-winning two-point conversion in overtime. Kiffin was asked about defensive coordinator Blake Baker's call on the decisive play after Wildcats coach Will Stein explained that quarterback Cutter Minchey had the option to run against a light defensive box.

Kiffin was also questioned about what the film revealed concerning LSU's biggest problems and whether correcting them will require adjustments in coaching and preparation or potentially personnel changes.

With Mississippi State coming to Tiger Stadium next Saturday, the Tigers face a critical week as they attempt to regroup from another painful SEC road defeat.
