How to Watch: No. 15 LSU vs. Georgia State in Tiger Stadium

The Bayou Bengals take on Georgia State in the final non-conference battle of the season.

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers prepare for a non-conference matchup against a Sun Belt foe in the Georgia State Panthers. 

Here's a look into what Kelly said of his Tigers, a look into the Georgia State matchup and how to watch Saturday's showdown in Death Valley:

What Brian Kelly Said:

Ending the Season With Momentum:

“The third year, wherever I’ve been, is probably a comfort level where everybody from the night cleaning crew here, to the freshman that’s in the program for six months, to the transfer student, everybody knows what the standard is,” Kelly said. “That creates a synergy within your program that everybody’s pulling in the same direction. There’s no need to be slowed down by some that are not on the same page. Everybody’s working in the same direction and we’re getting really close to that finishing up this year. As we go into the offseason, there’ll be great momentum going into Year 3.”

Player Improvement This Season:

“I think I could probably start with Jayden Daniels. I think we get kind of lost in just his rise and his development as a quarterback. I don’t know that anybody had him pegged for a Heisman, a leading Heisman trophy candidate. I think his (rise) has been outstanding. Brian Thomas has been another one that I could point to.

“I think Garret Dellinger has had a great year on the offensive line. I would say from a defensive line standpoint, Jacobian Guillory has really progressed from a defensive standpoint. I think Greg Penn has been really solid for us from a defensive standpoint. We’ve seen improvement from week to week.

“I think you’d have to put Sage Ryan in there. Here’s a guy that we’ve asked to play multiple positions and at times that’s difficult. But I mean, I think his resilience has been really good and we’ve seen a steadying incline in terms of his play. There’s many more. I’m leaving out a lot of guys… Maason Smith the last few weeks has been really good. I’m gonna leave out somebody, which these are tough questions because you forget somebody that’s doing a nice job, but that’s just to name a few and I’m sure I forgot some.”

What Brian Kelly Said of Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers:

How has Jayden Daniels handled some of the extra attention that’s come on to him with any of this Heisman hype and all that?

BK: “I think he’s had a lot of attention all year. We’ve had a Amazon crew in here most of the year doing a documentary. So we’ve had cameras around most of the year. He’s used to the distractions. He does a great job of keeping them at bay. So I think he’s done a great job, really, all year in terms of making the important things important and preparing himself. As I mentioned, he’s in here early in the morning, gets his work done and and then you know when he gets the practice he’s locked in. He’s he’s been he’s been really professional.”

Malik Nabers is within striking distance of LSU’s all-time receiving yards record here for the program. What do you think that would mean for you guys as a program that you’re trying to build here, if he was able to kind of set that in the next couple weeks?

BK: “Well, I think all those records are certainly pieces that go to building the consistency that you’re looking for in your program. And certainly what we’re looking for is, at LSU, a prolific offense, one that can be a standard in which we can recruit to. So, those are important pieces. I wouldn’t say they’re the most important things in our program, but they certainly help get the attention of the group that we’re recruiting.

“So, I think we’ve made a dent in the, I’d say, the country relative to the kind of offense that we’re running and the recruiting has followed. I think we’ve made an important in-road in these last couple years in terms of what we’re doing.”
