I know it's hard to believe, but BK did confirm that Jayden is, in fact, human.

Wingo seems more precautionary than anything.

3 weeks of rest and he should play with a different element in Tuscaloosa

What happened to Wingo? Somehow I missed that at the game. Not liking that fact that BK didn't say much about it but made mention of Emery's being "manageable"

I really appreciate ole baw asking him about disconcerting signals.

Fwiw, BK may hate disconcerting signals as much as everyone else. "We'll bring an air horn out there."

If it wasn't obvious before that Duce comment he made pretty much sounds like he is 100% gone

Sure he underperformed but he's someone I thought we could at least rotate.

Any speculation on what happened there?

My speculation is that this is non-football related if CBK is being this private about the matter

Maybe it was poorly worded coach speak, but if BK is “waiting for info/details” then that sounds like Deuce fricked up on the university side and is no longer eligible

My only question to that is if he screwed up in school it must've been during either the spring or summer. shite the drop date isn't even until Nov 3. I don't know how eligibility works for athletes if a screw up on a test screws you or only final grades.

I think Wingo has put in so many miles he needs a break before Bama. I bet he would play this weekend if we needed him to. He's going to be fresh for the Tide.

Kudos to John Emery. I haven't always been a fan of his but "Dang" on one play (a quick pop off left tackle I recall) he shot past that LOS like a cannonball. His acceleration was NFL explosive - reminded me of former Miami Dolphins RB Mercury Morris. LSU RBs have delivered.

“This will be the second meeting between LSU and Army. Army won the first meeting in 1931, 20-0”

I think there no risk we won’t avenge the 1931 Tigers.

If Emery would just give minimum 50% effort on school he’d be a mid round draft pick but it doesn’t look good to scouts that you can’t handle your shite 5 years in a row.
