During his post-practice press conference on Thursday, head coach Brian Kelly was asked what he's excited to see with LSU's defense facing Ole Miss on Saturday.

In his response, Kelly put the focus on LSU's offense, stepping up to the plate during SEC play:

quote:
"We can't win in the SEC, saying 'we are just going to lay on our defense,' Kelly stated.

"Our offense needs to rise to the occasion as well. Certainly, Florida was not exactly what we had planned for in that game, but we wanted to win and find a way to do so as we continue to develop our offense."

"We need to have production from our offense. And it's an offense that is capable of it. It's just taking some time with some new pieces, and it's all coming together."

"I want to be consistent on defense in this game. Be who we are. And then continue to see the growth and development that we saw last week on offense, as we head into this week."

Kelly was also asked if he liked the balance on offense, through four games this season:

quote:
"I think we found a rhythm that we like, an identity that we clearly want to be from an offensive standpoint."

"Look, we're not a dual-threat offense. We don't have a quarterback who is going to rush for 100 yards. We need efficient runs and use the run game to set up everything else that we do. When you step back and look at what you want from an offense, it's not tied to how many yards we rushed for. It's the efficiency of what you are doing from the run game."

First y'all bitched about BK when he told us about Nuss injury and called him a liar, now you bitch about him because he and Sloan knows where the offense is in terms of rushing production (we had to replace four starting o-linemen). You don't think they both want better production from the running game? How about you stop finding the littlest shite to nick-pick about and appreciate the good things about this team, so got damn petty.

Its not tied to how many you rushed for?? Uh yeah, it kind of matters Brian. Sloan said the same crap last week. Paraphrasing. We arent a team whos going to get 4-5 yds a carry - what OC would ever say that?? Now they are discussing it like its strategy blike 2 yds a carry sets up the offense??
