Coach Kelly notes key points regarding LSU’s progression heading into SEC play

What was most impressive about Kelly’s press conference was him explaining why LSU is performing so well and so consistently on offense and defense.

Regarding LSU’s progression on defense, Kelly noted “ we’re getting pressure, obviously that’s huge, from a four man front…playing on body coverage and we’re tackling running sideline to sideline… and we’re getting really consistent inside play now.” Kelly implied that LSU’s defense is really firing on all cylinders now and doing it consistently.

Regarding LSU’s QB’s progression, Kelly pointed out to Daniels that “when his feet are too slow, it puts his mind moving too fast” Kelly added that “we got into a really good coaching point with fast feet and slow decision making and it really helped him a lot.”

Regarding Nuss’ progression, Kelly seemed well pleased, noting Nuss was “decisive and made obviously some really high level throws… he’s a talented football player, he’s making good decisions, take what they give you, be disciplined, and you’ve got another really fine QB there.”

TTT - Kelly like Saban, is not one to blow smoke up our anuses. He’s very intelligent and straight forward on how he sees things. Kelly seemed to imply that he is very pleased with the progression of his offense, defense and both QB’s, which bodes well for LSU heading into SEC play on the road.
