LSU head coach Brian Kelly previews Ole Miss
On how much better he feels about his defense than the last time LSU went to Oxford… “You feel better about those games because you’re taking a defense that can stand up against the environment going on the road and all those things, and we’re a much more cohesive group. The roster’s better. The players are better. Those were good, tough kids that played hard for us, but we were a little short in some areas. I don’t know about all the points, but we got to score like we talked about last week. We can’t be scoring a touchdown or ten points. That’s not going to cut it in the SEC. So, continue to play at the level that we have defensively and then bring your offense up to the level that it needs to be to win games in the SEC.”

On LSU preparing for two quarterbacks… In some instances, it’d be like Texas A& M last year. Those are two different quarterbacks; one was a pro-style quarterback and one was certainly a dual threat that could run zone reads, do things of that nature, and it changes you dramatically. This week, both these quarterbacks are similar. Now they have different skill sets, but they can run the same offense with both of these players. So I’m not saying it’s easier. It’s hard. You’ve got two really good players, but it’s not as if one is a pro-style quarterback and is not going to run, and the other one is simply a dual threat. They’re both very similar.”
On how effective Ole Miss is with running tempo… “Their tempo is the best in the league, so you have to get lined up, and in some instances, it keeps you from doing too much. You got to get your cleats in the ground. You’ve got to be fundamentally sound.”
