• 0:06
  move to college since we're in spring practice, We've got down to LSU.
• 0:10
  Since you're down in that part of the world, and what are the You
• 0:13
  know, if you talk to LSU fans, the expectation is going to be
• 0:15
  always high is it probably should be. But with Garrett Nusmiyer now taking over
• 0:20
  for Jadan Daniels who's off to the NFL, Brian Kelly changing out an entire
• 0:24
  staff defensively, what are the expectations at least in your mind for LSU this
• 0:29
  year. Well, fans think that, you know, the defense is take
• 0:34
  bringing Corey Raymond and Bo Davis back and like Baker do defensive coordinated, that
• 0:39
  the defense is going to be automatically better. I think they may buy in,
• 0:44
  but they don't have enough depth on the defensive line right now. On
• 0:47
  the secondary, still got some concerns, so those are Look, it's about
• 0:51
  personnel, so maybe they can be better, but how good can they be?
• 0:56
  They were awful last year on offense. I mean it wash Jayden Daniels
• 1:00
  telling them out. I'm telling you they're six and sixteen without Jayden daniels efforts
• 1:03
  last year. Now, Brian and his staff has always been good about managing
• 1:07
  the team well, so you know, I think there'll be expectations to well,
• 1:15
  you got to get over the top. But I think the biggest thing
• 1:18
  is they shouldn't be this thin on the defensive line or in the secondary as
• 1:22
  they are at this stage of Brian's career. So I think that's going to
• 1:26
  be the key. And then how how much better will the defense have to
• 1:30
  be? I mean that they'll be better, I think, but Garrett Asmayer
• 1:34
  you mentioned good player, I think, very capable. But to expect any
• 1:38
  quarterback or any offense to be as prolific as Elish's offense was last year is
• 1:45
  completely unrealistic. Now will they play it differently, will they try to run
• 1:49
  it more, try to you know, try to protect the defense more.
• 1:53
  I think they felt like they needed to score, you know, fifty points
• 1:57
  last year to win, and pretty much they needed to. I think there's
• 2:02
  expectation. I think it needs to be tempered, and I'm not saying that
• 2:07
  LSU shouldn't expect more from Brian Kelly at this stage in his third year.
• 2:12
  I just don't know that the roster is as good as they think, because
• 2:15
  I think folks look at rankings and all the good and they got this great
• 2:20
  twenty five class. Well, what the heck does that mean? And is
• 2:22
  that twenty five doesn't matter yet? They hadn't signed him yet. We don't
• 2:24
  know if they're going to stay. I think in this day and age,
• 2:28
  who they've been able to keep or develop on the defensive line, and then
• 2:30
  the secondary is going to determine the ceiling for this team.
