LSU head coach Brian Kelly talked about the win over the Razorbacks at a press conference on Monday.
Kelly said, “As a team, offense, defense and special teams, I think what we did well was we prepared really well and then we took that preparation to how we thought about how we needed to play .”
LSU is led by quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who has thrown for 2,222 yards and 18 touchdowns so far this year.
Kelly also talked about tight end Trey’Dez Green’s play. He said Green played 42 snaps in the Arkansas game. Kelly said, “for his first game that he’s been in a lot of games, because he’s averaged about six games before that, he’s done really well.”

Kelly talks about the Aggie running game and their quarterback. He said Wiegman “is a really good defender. He is deceptive in terms of his speed and has very good weapons.
LSU head coach talks Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss. Kelly said he “leads the SEC in rushing per game with 96 yards.”
Kelly also talked about playing in College Station and what he learned from his first game at Texas A&M.
“We learned a lot about, you know, there’s different halls in this league and they’re all tough, but I think when you go to A&M, a lot like coming to Tiger Stadium, you know, they kind of separate themselves,” he said.
According to lsusports.net, LSU leads the series against Texas A&M, 34-22, with three ties.
