Coach Kelly takes the podium approximately 12 p.m. CT.


Cliffnotes:
- excited about first home game in Tiger Stadium

- complimentary of Southern dominating their opponent last weekend

- short week to prepare

- Coaches need to coach better, and players need to execute better, and trust the process. Mentioned 3rd down defense and offense needing to have better recognition pre-snap.

- team had grit and character, and battled their tails' off

- Maason Smith confirmed to be out for season with ACL tear...backups need to step up.

- offense didn't do well adjusting protection for FSU's defensive alignment

- regarding Boutte body language: he is hard on himself and he was disappointed in play. Not used to adversity and needs to grow from it. Kelly doesn't seem worried about Boutte...

- Wingo played well replacing Maason Smith...he is a leader, and is effective.

- Will Campbell held his own...we could have helped O-line better with different play calls

- Kelly disappointed in Ali Gaye's targeting..,says it was on him...Gaye will have to sit first half of Southern game.

- 16 missed tackles on FSU QB

- made in-game changes on PAT attempt, but poor execution led to block

- it was his decision to stick with Nabers at punt return...had confidence that he would bounce back after first muff...but didn't.

- Daniels settled in well as game progressed...never talked about switching to Nuss in the game. Daniels is still No. 1 QB

- Safeties didn't communicate well...cornerbacks were consistent.

- realizes running game needs work but happy about short yardage success

- RB's and TE's need to block better

- Not much to say about Foucha except that he will be back this year...very vague

- Linebacker performance: need to tackle and blitz better...room for major improvement there

- O-line awareness root of pass protection issues...knowing where your help is, etc

That's it...

Says "exciting" to bring in Southern. One of the best bands in the nation. Great for the University and Baton Rouge.

Ours guys are excited to get an opportunity to bounce back after a disappointing loss.

Biggest issue we can correct: eye discipline, tackling, better communication, earlier recognition of what is available. We have to do a better job of coaching players, and better execution. They have to trust that and play with a great deal of confidence.

Chicken doing better cliffs than I can.

Why would media show up at 12 if the press conference was supposed to start at 12?

You know there are actual things about the game to complain about and demand to be corrected, e.g. execution on ST or catching the football.

I don’t know why some of you feel the need to go beyond that and break out your “body language expertise” to imagine something else to whine about.

I know the popular thing is catastrophe syndrome with this fan base, but you can tell Kelly knows what he's talking about. Some issues with this roster is just a lack of talent at certain positions, but the stuff that can get fixed will be fixed.
