LSU freshman linebacker Harold Perkins shined in his SEC debut this past Saturday vs. Mississippi State, finishing the game with five tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a QB hurry.

On Monday, coach Brian Kelly was asked about Perkins play and how we could be used more in the defensive gameplan.
quote:

Q. With how well Howard Perkins played as an edge rusher on Saturday can we expect to see a bigger role for him, say in edge rushing or blitzing in general?

BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, I think there's a role for him. Certainly he adds something to our pass rush. We certainly saw that. That's why he got the opportunity to play out on the edge a little bit. You saw him inside with some blitzing inside. I think we found a niche for him in terms of where he can help us. I would say that you're accurate in that he can continue to evolve into that position.

Now is he going to beat out BJ Ojulari at that position? I don't think so. But he certainly can lend some support to that position in certainly some dime and nickel packages.
