Reggie Bush Thinks LSU Can Contend For A Title Again This Season

“I still like LSU a lot because they’re the defending champ,” Bush said on Big Noon Kickoff. “When you’re the defending champ, that next season, you play with different energy and different passion. This is the first one they’ve won in a long time, and the players know that. They’ll be eager to live up to what they did last year. They’ll want to try and repeat what they did last year. Obviously that’s easier said than done. When you look at the amount of people they lost — players and also Joe Brady — that’s a lot of pieces they lose. I say this with an asterisk, because I know how tough it will be for this team this year, but they do have the captain of their ship — Ed Orgeron — who will have you ready to run through a brick wall with his pregame speeches and just the way he prepares you for football games. He’s still the captain of that ship. As long as they still have Coach O, I believe in him, because I know his DNA and what he brings to the table. But it will be tough for them and tough for everyone this year. I know they lost Joe Brady, but Alabama lost Tua [Tagovailoa]. Other teams lost good players, which happens every year. It’s part of college football.”
