Kiffin's Advice: LSU Ready for Tech?
11 Sep
Summary
- LSU coach Kiffin acknowledges challenges of facing unconventional defense.
- Louisiana Tech QB Blake Baker returned strong after knee injury.
- LSU's Dilin Jones leads the ground game after Wisconsin transfer.
LSU coach Lane Kiffin expressed a lack of specific advice for Louisiana Tech's coach Sonny Cumbie, recalling his own past struggles against top-tier opponents while at Florida Atlantic. Given LSU's decisive 51-10 victory over Clemson, Louisiana Tech appears to face a significant challenge in their upcoming game, with oddsmakers heavily favoring LSU.
Despite LSU's dominance, Kiffin commended Louisiana Tech's offense, noting their 80-6 season-opening win. He highlighted the Bulldogs' unconventional defense, featuring three defensive linemen, three linebackers, and five defensive backs, as a source of strategic difficulty.
Louisiana Tech's quarterback, Blake Baker, demonstrated a strong performance in his first game since recovering from a major knee injury sustained last November, throwing for three touchdowns. Coach Cumbie praised Baker's confidence and decision-making. LSU's running game, led by Wisconsin transfer Dilin Jones, also showed promise, with Jones carrying a significant load and scoring touchdowns in the Tigers' opener.
