Zy Alexander and Mekhi Wingo "will miss some time." When asked about if that means the Alabama game, Kelly said it's hard to tell right now.
Said they need to get better. They will use this bye week for rest, but they're also not going to just lie around and have relaxed practices. Says they have a lot of young players they need to develop (I'm assuming DBs) and said they need all the practice time they can get.
Says Deuce and Denver are not participating with the program. They're still with the program and enrolled at LSU, but they're not practicing or playing right now.
Feels Andre Sam is getting better. Says the game is slowing down for him. Felt he played a little out of control early in the season, but the game is slowing down for him.
He's excited about what the defense has been able to do the last few weeks. Says they still need the offense to play at an elite level.
Thinks the secondary is getting better at playing the ball in the air. Says that's partially due to the change in their defensive structure.
Says there was a different feel for the LSU vs. Alabama game last year. Says it lived up to the hype and he expects there to be a lot of hype heading into it this year.
Feels the defense was lacking confidence, but the new structure and the big plays they made against Missouri helped this defense get their confidence back. Says they still have a lot of work to do, but they're making the progress necessary.
Thinks the offense has been really confident. They communicate well and they work together really well. Says even with Emery Jones out, it felt like the offensive line was still cohesive.
