VIDEO: LSU's Kenan Jones Goes Full Baker Mayfield and Plants Tigers' Flag on Texas Longhorns Turf
By Mark Powell
Baker Mayfield's defiant act of planting the Oklahoma flag on Ohio Stadium turf sent shockwaves around college football two years ago. Yet, LSU has brought the former Sooners star's actions right to Austin. After defeating the Longhorns on Saturday night, Tigers' safety Kenan Jones brought out the LSU flag and made a nice divot.

Be careful, you're in Longhorn country.
Jones and the Tigers came into the game ranked sixth in the country, but that could easily improve after putting on an offensive show against the Longhorns. Texas poked the bear pregame, wearing 'DBU' shirts during warmups. LSU didn't take kindly to this, and clearly brought that motivation with them into game action.
LSU, Joe Burrow and the new-look Tigers are finally for real. Look out, Alabama. Ed Orgeron said "we comin'," and it looks like he’s right https://t.co/qdpq14vObI

Give Sam Ehlinger credit for keeping it close, but LSU has earned the right to show off in Austin. They're not leaving quietly.
