Head coach Brian Kelly spoke with the media on Monday, Oct. 30.
“We’ve got to raise our level of preparation this week,” he said. “It’s not about rising up to the competition, it’s rising to the level of preparation necessary to play an outstanding football team in all three phases.”
The LSU head coach then talked about the current offensive coordinator at Alabama, Tommy Rees.
“He’s somebody that I have a lot of respect for in what he’s done certainly at Notre Dame and then in a very short time taking an offense and transforming it quickly during the season,” he said.
Kelly was asked if he is in the same position as last year, would he go for two again? You can hear Kelly’s answer in the video player above.
