Medical professionals reveal alarming number of fans taken to medical room in LSU vs. UCLA, per report

LSU was leading 34-17 in the fourth quarter against UCLA on Saturday. The problem was, looking at the pictures of the Tiger Stadium crowd in Baton Rouge, the home crowd had surprisingly thinned out in the second half. We got the reason for that late in the second half, when Bryce Koon spoke with some medical professionals on his way up to the press box at the game. They said the number of people who were taken to the “medical room” is north of 70 people.

So clearly, the heat in Baton Rouge had something to do with it. The temperatures in Baton Rouge near the end of the game were in the 90s and the heat was only made worse by the humidity. Many fans were receiving medical attention, and there were even people passing out in the stands. Following the game, LSU head coach Brian Kelly commented on the situation.

LSU head coach Brian Kelly on the extreme heat

“We would prefer later games, but we are beholden to what the national (TV) audience is,” Kelly said in an article written by the Associated Press. “I feel bad and I hope everyone is okay. I did see visually that there weren’t many fans in the stands (across from LSU’s bench) because the sun was pounding on them.”

The Tigers handled the Bruins on Saturday with a 34-17 win, thanks to shutting out UCLA in the second half.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was sharp yet again, completing 32 of his 44 passes. One of the highlights was a beautiful 45-yard touchdown strike to receiver Kyle Parker down the right sideline. Parker somehow managed to stay on his feet, stumble into the end zone, and not turn the ball over.

LSU freshman running back Caden Durham scored on a 35-yard screen pass, putting his electrifying speed in the open field on fine display. Tigers receiver Aaron Anderson continues to be a man of consistency for the receiving corps. He hauled in six catches for 75 yards on Saturday.

UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns for the Bruins, but lost a fumble in the first half and threw an interception in the second half. The LSU defense surrendered 17 points in the first half, but responded in the second half, completely shutting out the Bruins for the win.
