March 13, 2024 01:17 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

The LSU Tigers have a new quarterback in town. However, "new" is a relative term. While Garrett Nussmeier isn't new to LSU as he is going into his fourth career year in the purple and gold, he IS new to being the starting quarterback. Nussmeier takes over the job from Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels who declared for the NFL Draft. But QB isn't the only change for the Tigers offensively: new group of WRs, new group of RBs, and new offensive coordinators in Joe Sloan and Cortez Hankton. W...

March 08, 2024 14:44 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

We know that without Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, and Brian Thomas Jr., the LSU offense is going to look different on the field. The play-calling will be different and overall it is going to be a different team. But with a new-look, or rather different-look, offense, will there also be a new identity for the LSU Tigers? Head coach Brian Kelly addressed the media about the first few days of spring practice, what they expect over the next few weeks as the 2024 season ramps up, and just how d...

March 07, 2024 00:32 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

The LSU Tigers started spring practice on Tuesday and the 2024 purple and gold squad will look much different than last year after losing Heisman trophy winning quarterback Jayden Daniels and leading receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. to the NFL Draft this year. Fourth-year quarterback Garrett Nussmeier will take the reigns from Daniels as the Tigers next signal caller, but who will be the leaders in the clubhouse to fill the massive hole left by Nabers and Thomas Jr.?  Plus, the L...

March 01, 2024 03:30 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MB

There is always going to be crazy talk and wild projections in the college football offseason. However, some talk gets a little too crazy. One heavily followed college football account projects LSU to be in the same tier this upcoming season as the Iowa Hawkeyes, Boise State Broncos, and Virginia Tech Hokies, among others. Aren't our expectations higher than that? And why could the national perspective of the LSU Tigers be less favorable than this past season? Plus, Jayden Daniels will not ...

February 15, 2024 01:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB
