...trying to rush through the day to get to tonight !!!!


I wish I was able to see the game at the Abita Brew Pub with KyleK and my other LSU friends !!!!

 

Mett:

“We prepared all summer with a purpose knowing that we open up with TCU. It’s time to go play. We are ready to go and we are really excited to get the season underway.”

“(Challenging) games like this are way more fun."

“We have to execute and we have to execute on every play,” Mettenberger said. “In order for the offense to work, every player on the field has to do their job.”

 

Miles said that Mettenberger looks ready to go.
“He has a good sense of what he is going to be expected to do,” Miles said of Mettenberger. “You can tell. He has a smile on his face and he is busting it. He is working hard, and that is what he should be doing.”

 

Les:

“We’re excited to finally get the season underway"

“We’ve had a really good camp, now it’s time to go out and play. Our preparation this week has been really good. TCU is a quality opponent that will present us with some different challenges, in particular the 4-2-5 defense that they run.”

“They have a quality (defensive) front... they have quality defensive linemen, and I think there's no specific weakness in any way...We're stepping into an opener where you can't just line up and say, this is what we're going to do and let's do it. We have to show them the reasons why they need to cover down....(we are) going to attack them inside...we're going to attack them across the front...we're going to attack the flanks...We're going to put the ball on the perimeter..."

 

They are gonna run it to the left. Then the right. Then straight up the middle. Just when TCU thinks they have it figured out we bomb their asses! Stand on their necks and kick 'em in the head Tigers! Aller Tigre! LSU ! LSU LSU !
