LSU FOOTBALL 09/19 Brian Kelly Media Availability Notes

L
  • Says anytime you can win a game after being down 17-0 against an SEC team, it's a morale booster. It says a lot about this team.
  • His team knows they prepare well, but their concern is that they haven't played up to their potential.
  • Thinks we'll see a lot of guys playing and rotating at safety. With Perkins playing SAM backer, they want to keep Burns on the field now that he's not at STAR. Also wants Dashawn Spears to play more.
  • The major emphasis they've put on their defense this week is eliminating the big play. It really hurt them against South Carolina, and without those two big runs, that game isn't as close as it was. Thinks his defense has actually been pretty good at creating turnovers and getting off the field on third down, but the big plays have overshadowed it.
  • Chris Hilton is probable with a bone bruise, Jalen Lee is out with a shoulder and West Weeks is questionable.
  • Thinks the biggest growth for Bradyn Swinson has been his ability to play well in all phases of the game. Pass rushing and sacks are great, but he's really developed in the run game and in coverage.
  • Says he doesn't know when Trey Holly will be back.
  • Thinks they saw some lighter boxes which helped in the run game, but thinks his backs did a better job of making guys miss and hitting the holes.
  • Hilton will add some experience to the receiver group. He's been here for three years and knows the offense well. Says he's been great at tracking the ball downfield, and with his speed, he should open up some things downfield for them in the passing game. Does say he won't come in and just pick up right where he left off. It'll take a couple weeks before he's back 100%.
  • Wants his team to start fast this week against UCLA. They've gotten off to some slow starts this year, and it puts them in some bad situations. Says in practice they've started with 11-on-11s to 'start fast' at practice, hoping it translates into the game.

JeffersonPowell
LSU’s first major recruiting weekend of 2024 is shaping out for LSU’s return to Tiger Stadium against UCLA.

Here’s a look at the notable visitors expected in town.

2025 Targets

One of the biggest names that will be in attendance this weekend is current LSU commit DJ Pickett, who makes another return trip to Baton Rouge. Pickett continues to garner attention from several programs from around the country as the In-state Miami Hurricanes and Oregon among others continue to work for a flip from the LSU commit. Getting Pickett back on campus early in the season is a big win for the LSU staff, he’s shown

LSU FOOTBALL 09/16 Brian Kelly Media Availability Notes

  • Thought his team showed resolve and resilience in this game, but he knows they can play better. They have plenty things to get better at over the coming weeks.
  • Acknowledges Bradyn Swinson and Caden Durham as standout players.
  • Says UCLA is a team that has a lot of veteran players, similar to South Carolina. Their defense has a lot of upperclassmen and is big and physical.
  • Says there's calls in every game that are questionable. Thinks the two flags that brought SC's pick sixes back looked like fouls.
  • Thought South Carolina was a really good SEC teams who beat the brakes off a Kentucky team that played Georgia close. Also points out that they left 14 points on the table when they failed to score inside the five twice. Thought they took control of the game in the second half.
  • Says both of the defensive delay of games they were called for were valid. One time they clapped, and the other time the DE made an "unnatural movement."
  • Says they have to look at their red zone scheme because they have left so many points on the table in that area.
  • Zy Alexander got the wind knocked out of him more than having a knee injury, which is what it appeared to be.
  • Thought Harold Perkins began to feel more comfortable in this game. He missed a few plays, but felt he made progress.
  • They're not at the point where they'll say Caden Durham is the No. 1 guy, but he did what they wanted him to do and he'll certainly continue to be involved.
  • Says Aaron Anderson has improved in every aspect. Going to class, being on time, catching the ball, running routes, etc. He's improved on literally everything in his life.
  • Nussmeier showed the resolve and leadership they wanted to see from a QB making his third start on the road. Thinks he's really talented, but knows there is still more room for growth.
  • Thought he learned more about his team this week than the last two weeks combined.
  • He sees a defensive line that's playing fundamentally sound football. Thinks the DTs haven't been as big a problem as the media thought and the DEs have been great.
  • They're not there on defense yet, but feels they're making the progress necessary towards improving on defense.
  • They purposely tried not to put Dashawn Spears in high stress situations this week, but was proud of how he played.
  • Thought there were more opportunities for them to throw to Mason Taylor, and he already had 8-10 targets in the game. Says one of the best things about him is his YAC ability.

Big news on Ladarian Clardy..

Adam Gorney
UCF, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Washington and Florida State have been the finalists for the four-star safety from Penscaola (Fla.) Escambia with a commitment planned for Saturday.

But LSU offered on Sunday and Clardy told me it "of course" changes things in his recruitment because LSU was his dream school. We will monitor if he still plans to commit within a week and where the Tigers stand heading into it. Ole Miss has been considered the team to beat by far.
