Yes. This was explained in the post game. BK said Tennessee has a good directional kicker and usually splits left and right about 50/50. The ball was blown over by the wind so UT used a holder. Based on the side the holder was on, they knew the ball was going to the right. “Bech is the best we got” per BK so he swapped him to the right.


Then put Bech in the fricking middle of the field until you know where he is kicking it. They put him on the LSU sideline side first & then realized Tennessee was kicking it to their side of the field & made a switch at the last second. Bech had to run 50 yds just to get in position to catch the ball.

This isn’t correct at all.

There were two returners back, one on each side.

Kelly was telling them both to shift left once the holder came out.


Bech lined up deep despite Kelly very clearly saying FIVE YARD LINE holding up five almost a minute before the kick.
