You’re right about last year in coverage but I thought he was playing pretty fast yesterday. Kids can improve!

I’m cautiously optimistic there’s not a substantial drop off……

He’s very capable of holding down his responsibilities on any given play

Weeks is great, but if there was one unit that can absorb an injury, it’s LB. Hate to lose him, but the others will have to pony up.

Keys and Singletery played well. Still want weeks out there but next man up.

I think Weeks was first string for reasons, but Keys is very good.

I'll never understand why some people feel the need to shite on one of our best players, and a great Tiger, to try and lift up another player.

Whit has been all LSU since he committed here, has played injured and has been a damn good linebacker for us as well. No need to put him down you sorry sack of shite.

This has to be a troll. Keys played well and is a good starter but he is not even remotely close to being better than Whit.

I feel good with Keys though. He is in his 3rd year and has been a solid contributor the entire time. I was really pleased with what Singleton showed.


Concur, I feel good about our LB depth and as a group they should continue to play well within Coach Baker's scheme. Keys & Dottery will continue to make plays.

The strength of this DEF is NOT one player, but the collective play of multiple, talented guys at each level doing their jobs very well. With that said the injuries are piling up. Hopefully WW will be back before the Bama-Tx-Tenn stretch.

He made a 4th and 1 stop in the third quarter that Weeks wouldn’t have been able to make

Keys made a great play there, but no reason to think Weeks wouldn't have made it.. in fact, he had a similar play vs. Clemson on a 3rd & 1..

ETA: Keys is an excellent run defender, and good on the blitz. They'll need to get creative on not asking him to do too much in coverage though.

Yea I think we will slide Dottery to the Will and let Keys play the Mike.

Kiffin and the GM did outstanding in the portal building depth

They did outstanding building a starting 22. Depth is our weakness and will take another year or 2
