I have put in an early FutureCast in for LSU to land Lee. This was a major offer for him and an emotional, big-deal to him. Great kid!

Go to Notre Dame rival site and their under the dome forum. Check out the thread called Fighting Kellys of LSU. You can even comment if you want. It's a free forum

produced a lot of offensive lineman sons!!!!

I honestly think BK and staff are settling in, especially with pregame prep but more importantly halftime adjustments.
I have been extremely impressed since the FSU game. Have there been things I’ve not liked, yes, but overall and with the now 6-2 record I am pleasantly surprised.
Oh and his professionalism and humor during press conferences has been REFRESHING!!!

Overall grade: Solid B with a lot of upside
Remember we only had 39 scholarship 10 months ago in a bowl game.

Game gets underway from Tiger Stadium at 2:30 on CBS.

Here's a good read from Ron to check out prior to the kick.

Twice-beaten LSU and No. 7 unbeaten Ole Miss clash in Tiger Stadium today at 2:30 with the league’s West Division lead at stake.

3 POSITIVES

-- What a helluva turnaround over the last few weeks from Jayden Daniels and the LSU offense. Brian Kelly was asked what flipped for the team, especially the last two weeks? After a long pause, he said he didn't think the team was as far off against Tennessee as the score indicated. He took credit to coaching poorly that day but also talked about going for all those 4th downs to win the game. As the leader of the offense, Daniels just looks more comfortable. He looks like he's making reads, trusting his WRs and scrambling at the right moments. The sky is the limit for LSU's offense with Daniels plays like he has the last 2 weeks.

-- Hello, Joe Foucha. That one-handed interception in the end zone was the key turnaround in the game, in my opinion. Ole Miss never got close again after that. Even Kelly said it, "The interception was probably the biggest play because they were threatening to score in that situation. ... That was the first time we got any extension in the game from from them."

-- A star in the making ... Harold Perkins Jr. What an impact he has on the defense. It looks completely different when he's on the field flying around and in the backfield putting pressure on Dart. He needs to be on the field as much as humanly possible because he's that elite, that special. Let's enjoy watching him the next few years because that young man has first-round pick written all over him and likely done in three years.

3 NEGATIVES

-- This is a reoccurring theme all season, but special teams still has issues. Hell, they got flagged before any time came off the clock at the start of the game. Not sure what the problem is or how to fix it but the lack of discipline on special teams is concerning.

-- The slow starts. Obviously I won't knit-pick too much because LSU got the dub last week and this week and they've fought and comeback all season, but the Tigers cannot get down against Alabama in two weeks like they did against Tennessee. I genuinely think they have a shot against Bama. Other than Bryce Young being the QB, Bama isn't the dominant team we've seen over the years. Are they better than most? Yes. But not unbeatable especially with the defense and IN Tiger Stadium. But LSU has to start fast and limit the flags and special teams issues.

-- Lastly, the officiating today was awful.

I'd just be interested in hearing what they were saying before, during and then after the game...

him good. 19 for 21, 325 yards, 3 TDs, 158.3 perfect rating

Our 2 losses aren’t terrible. I believe we can beat anyone 15-25.

- “Well, exciting day in Tiger Stadium. Our guys saw this as an opportunity.” — Brian Kelly

- “Our best players played their best, and we needed that.” Great defensive second half.

- Says Jayden Daniels was “excellent” again, back-to-back weeks as the catalyst for the offense.

- “We got stronger. We exerted our will against our opponent, which is part of what we’re building here.”

- Kelly says the team will look forward to entering a much-needed break with the positive momentum. Mentions they’ll hit the road recruiting during the bye week.

- Kelly asked whether a win like today helps validate his decision to take the LSU job. “No,” he laughs. “I think that’s probably the furthest thing from my mind. I’m so excited for our players.”

- Kelly on Joe Foucha's interception: "The momentum really shifted there. The interception was probably the biggest play because they were threatening to score in that position. That was a huge play."

- Kelly on Harold Perkins... "He was good. He was active. ... He's an exceptional player." Mentions that the freshman LB impacts the defense.

- Kelly on hugging Jayden Daniels at the end of the game? "This was a big game in a lot of ways. ... He's in a very good place to run this offense now. He's a ready to do really good things for us."

- Kelly asked what flipped for LSU in the last few weeks. After a long pause ... "We weren't as far away in that Tennessee game as the score indicated. ... I coached poorly that day. When we looked at it internally, we weren't that far off."

Anyone out there willing to share a dark roux family gumbo recipe with shrimp and sausage. Would love to try another cajun recipe.

Weber State’s Grant Sanders will forever live in infamy . Samders sailed the his snap over the head of the punter into the EZ not once, not twice , not three times but an incredible FOUR times resulting in 4 safeties

Most were out of the EZ 4 feet over the hapless punter’s head

This is a record that will hold up for a long long time

In regards to the Tennessee game...

" I coached a bad game"
"Went for it too much on 4th down"

Other quotes:

.“We weren't as far away in that Tennessee game as the score indicated,” Kelly said. “I went for it a lot of fourth downs situations that exacerbated the score. We didn’t play the game to keep it close, we played it to win.

“Tennessee was the better football team that day. But when we went through it again and we watched the tape and we looked at it, we felt like we were a better football team. So, I know perceptually we got lit up and rightly so. We deserved everything that we got."

Huge deal...BK does not often repeat his mistakes. The OL and even special teams has made huge improvements.

Awesome job!! If we can ever get beyond being down 17 zip first quarter we are going to be a problem!!!

I posted a thread stater last week complaining about the lack of Wifi at Tiger Stadium...(we don't have any and me and 10k+ would gladly pay $10 for it) and the lack of replays shown on the Jumbo screens.

I was lit up on here.

Told to stay home and watch on my TV.

Well.....

They showed pretty much EVERY REPLAY against Ole Piss and it made a difference in the in game viewing.

And maybe even the game.

The point is, someone reads this forum who makes decisions. As well as droppings and other places.

I’ve been pretty down on him recently. I have agreed with others that we needed to see Nuss more. I said I didn’t think he could magically fix all of his issues. Well, last night I witnessed magic. Great game JD and keep it up the rest of the year.

Syracuse d is suffocating them. Forced 4 turnovers now. Score is 21-10 and they’re about to take DJ out at qb for the that really good freshman👀👀🤣
