Brian Kelly is talking big about his 2024 LSU offense

A USC defense which has been awful for the past several years (remember Todd Orlando and Clancy Pendergast before Alex Grinch) will be challenged out of the gate in 2024. LSU brings a lot of weapons to Las Vegas for the big Labor Day weekend showdown everyone is talking about. Though LSU is definitely a team worth taking seriously, it also has to be said that the Tigers will have a hard time matching last year’s production under Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. Is coach Brian Kelly worried about that? Not based on what he told ESPN at SEC media days this past week:

The Tigers led the country in scoring offense (45.5 points) and total offense (543.5 yards) last season, but Daniels was taken No. 2 in the NFL draft and his top two receivers, Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., were taken at No. 6 and No. 21 respectively.

That said, when Kelly was asked Monday by ESPN’s social media team at the SEC media days what he was most looking forward to in Tiger Stadium this season, he said confidently, “Scoring a s—load of touchdowns.”

No ambiguity there. Kelly thinks his offense is the real deal once again. It’s up to USC to stand up to the Tigers on Sept. 1 in Sin City.
