apartment both certainly drain family kick people players several
Several of our players have more people (evacuated family and friends) in their apartment than they have any right to have in their apartment. And you can't kick them out because certainly it's the right thing. And they're not sleeping, and some of them don't have their own bed. There's some drain on our players both emotionally and physically.
beat defense finished football knows played second style tennessee trailing
Our football knows how to play the second half. We finished the game. Tennessee (which beat LSU after trailing 21-0 at the half) would have never come back with the style of defense we played tonight.
defense extremely played
I thought that our defense stymied them all day, and really played extremely well,

Glen Dorsey stepped up. He's going to be a great leader and a tremendous player for us inside.
confident controlled dominant final football game line played season thrilled
I'm thrilled for this football team. They come into the final game of the season with a new quarterback, a very capable, confident young man. And they controlled the line of scrimmage for him and played dominant defense.
lsu play bakers
Ryan Baker sustained a penalty of play, and we withheld him from play today based on the rules violation.
moving lsu play
What happened there was they were moving the chains and we had the call made. We were really trying to get two plays if we could have rather than use the timeout thereafter.
team school player
We ask these players to do some very difficult things, for the team, the coaching staff, the school - at risk of injury. And when they do those things, I feel as if I'm in their debt. It's an honor to coach those guys. I want to be of service to them.
memorable games play
Yeah, we call that mulling around. Okay guys, come on now. What we're going to do early in this game is mull around, okay? And later, we're going call that monkey-off-our-back play.
stars team player
The team is never about the single player. It's not about the injury that keeps a star out of a certain game, and it's not about the coach. It's about the strength, and the abilities of the sum.
football school player
Louisiana has a heritage of great players that play their high school football within the boundaries of Louisiana.

We have to control him. He's their big playmaker.

This now creates an opportunity for Justin and Shyrone to step up and get some additional carries.

We don't expect him back in the short term.
