Take a listen to TigerBait Associate Editor Preston Guy on the Paul Finebaum Show, Monday, October 13. The interview starts at the 20:29 mark.
The interview with Preston Guy from TigerBait.com covers the state of the LSU Tigers football program under coach Lane Kiffin (20:15 - 29:21).
Key takeaways from the interview:
The Lane Kiffin Era: Preston describes the period since Kiffin's hiring as a "chaotic storm" (20:47-21:23). Despite two early losses, the fan base remains supportive, appreciating his aggressive, creative approach (21:46-22:41).
Defensive Woes: The conversation shifts to defensive coordinator Blake Baker. Preston highlights that the defense has struggled significantly in "close of half" situations, often relying on soft zone coverage with cornerbacks playing too far off the line of scrimmage (22:42-24:16).
Quarterback Performance: Levitt is identified as a quarterback who has turned the ball over in every game, creating a "rollercoaster" of performance. While his pocket awareness and accuracy have improved, the costly turnovers remain a primary issue (24:24-25:47).
Looking Ahead: Preston suggests that 9-3 is a realistic ceiling for LSU this season. To achieve this, the team must fix quarterback turnovers, improve defensive play, and get key players like Whit Weeks and Tradez Green healthy (26:22-28:07).
Kiffin's Media Presence: Preston notes that Kiffin is currently "unplugged" from social media but predicts it won't be long before he dominates the headlines again (28:08-29:21).
