LSU beat UCF in the Play Station Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday, and one Tigers player was only too happy to point that out.
LSU sophomore safety Eric Monroe trolled UCF after the Tigers won 40-32. He wrote a message on a dry erase board mocking UCF for calling themselves national champions.

UCF went undefeated last season but was not selected for the College Football Playoff. They decided to call themselves national champs and went hard celebrating that declaration. They had repeated their undefeated season until losing to LSU, which made them 12-1.
Keep in mind the Knights were playing without star quarterback McKenzie Milton, who is injured. Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi even backed them up as a tough opponent. But LSU was happy to prove on Tuesday that the Knights weren’t on their level.
