LSU had the most productive offense in the country during the regular season. "Sometimes around bowl games, practice gets lackadaisical, guys are out there (just) to get to the bowl game. "That's something that helped guys want to come out and play this game," LSU linebacker Greg Penn said of Kelly's statement. Badgers coach Luke Fickell called Nussmeier "a really, really good player, too," but acknowledged that Daniels' absence removes "the dynamic of a legitimate, take-it-the-distance quarterback run." Though LSU averaged 50 points while winning its last three games in the regular season, the absence of Daniels and Allen could lead to a lower-scoring game.
