A Super Talked Talk Mississippi media production.

So joining me now, we got a new voice here on the podcast.

Koki Riley covers the Tigers for the daily advertiser and for USA Today sports the South region.

Koki you know a year ago sort of the same situation for LSU they were one and

one coming into this game at the time we didn't know that Florida State was a

really good team at the time we didn't know that LSU was was a really good team at the time we didn't know

that LSU was going to go on to win the West. We know Florida State's a good team

this year. So at one in one what's the mood in Baton Rouge after two games?

That's a really a question. It's, I'd say there's, man, I honestly think that the mood is probably a little less pessimistic

than it was a year ago.

I think part of that's just because, again, like you mentioned last year,

we didn't really know how everything was going to work out with the Florida State loss and we weren't

we didn't have a full year of Brian Kelly to observe when it comes to his time at LSU and I think there are definitely concerns with this team. I think people are concerned about the first few drives at the Grandley State game this past week.

I think people are concerned about some of the run defense that they've shown this

season.

Harold Perkins is positioning. the secondary, a lot of

your defensive issues as you as you notice, Jade Daniels, like there are there

all these question marks but with the Alabama loss with the Texas A&M loss with some of these other things that happen in week two

It's hard not to look at the schedule and look at this team and still say that, hey, you know, if they can

improve in a couple spots and just play a little bit better, obviously than they did against Florida State.

This team can certainly still win the West.

So I'm kind of of of that mind at the moment as well.
