Saturday night in Death Valley wasn’t always pretty, but coach Brian Kelly liked the fight and progress he saw from his LSU team.
What were the biggest takeaways from the Tigers’ 20-10 grind past South Carolina? And how much confidence or caution should be taken from a home win against a Gamecocks group that had fallen shy of its own high expectations thus far?
Any way you shake it, LSU was one of the few bright spots — if not the brightest spot — on a tough weekend for the state’s football programs.
Louisiana vs. All Y’all’s “PODnas,” Jerit Roser and Daniel Hawkes, recapped Week 7 of the NCAA’s college football season through a Louisiana lens and a particular focus on where the Tigers stand at midseason.
Other primary topics include: a pair of Sun Belt losses for Louisiana (Lafayette) and ULM, former Isidore Newman star Arch Manning and Texas upset Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry and a pair of former LSU stars (Kayshon Boutte and Will Campbell out of Westgate and Neville, respectively) highlight a New England Patriots road win vs. the New Orleans Saints.
Plus, always a bright spot during football season, the guys take a look at four candidates for High School Play of the Week.
Featured this week: West Monroe wide receiver Trez Davis (Tulane), Evangel Christian quarterback Peyton “Pop” Houston (LSU), Huntington speedsters Nathan Green (Louisiana Tech) and Ja’korion Spencer and Brother Martin wide receiver Easton Royal.
