After another impressive outing against Mississippi St. Malik Nabors is LSU’s leading receiver with 14 catches for 199 yards and a touchdown. Nabors muffed two crucial punts in the season opener vs Florida St. but has bounced back with strong showings in the last three games, especially on 3rd and 4th downs. Coach Brian Kelly admires the young wide-out’s resilience…
“He’s been able to focus and refocus. He’s been able to move on to the next play, and that is a great quality to have, especially in the game of football. Look, you’re going to have some adversity and he’s had it, he’s dealt with it, and he’s moved on and he’s stronger for it.”
LSU’s special team struggles have been the story of their season so far, and coach Brian Kelly said the kicking is at fault for lackluster kickoff coverage that nearly cost LSU the game against Mississippi St. Regardless of these early setbacks, Kelly has no plans to make a switch as of yet but wants to keep all options open…
“We’re not going to say there’s never competition at the position. If we feel like we need to make a change in a particular area for example we got to change kickoffs versus field goals, extra points. We’ll consider all those things for the betterment of the football team.”
