Fired up Nick Saban
Legendary coach was not pleased
“I think he’s the greatest coach to ever do, it looks like he knows what he’s talking about to me, the way Kevin played tonight,” Lashlee said. “I think we’re just fine if nobody talking about us. We know how good Kevin is. We don’t need anybody to tell us and neither does Kevin. It’s nice to be recognized, our team, I think our defense, you know, I think our defense doesn’t get talked about enough. But I also don’t care, because I’m proud of them and I’m proud of our staff.
“So pretty cool though, for Nick Saban to say about you, if you’re Kevin, you know, ‘Hey, I think this is maybe the most underrated player in the country,’ and then for (Jennings) to go out and make (Saban) look good.”
Even though Lashlee would prefer the attention to be dialed down, his SMU team is right in the thick of an ACC Championship race and will get a huge platform to perform on again with the ESPN telecast.
