Brian Kelly Is Excited For Joe Foucha's Debut As He Returns From 4-Game Suspension

Veteran safety Joe Foucha will make his LSU debut on Saturday vs. Auburn after serving a four-game suspension due to academic issues involving his transfer from Arkansas.

His return comes at a crucial time as the Tigers get into the thick of their SEC schedule without starting safety Major Burns, who will be out for the next 3-6 weeks as he recovers from an upper neck injury.

Head coach Brian Kelly spoke about Foucha's return on Monday and what he will bring to the secondary.

“He's played on the scout team for the last month which helped him stay ready," Kelly said. He was a pain to deal with because he was so good. He’s been actively involved. He’ll be ready to play right away.”
