Tyrann Mathieu keeps up with LSU athletics overall, and has noticed that the school has collected a pair of national championships in recent months between the women’s basketball program and the baseball team.
That leads the Honey Badger to the football team.
“Pressure is on Brian Kelly, you know what I mean,” Mathieu said. “… But I think Brian Kelly has a good chance. He has a good football team, he got a good program, and he’s got a quarterback. So lot of times, that’s all you need.”
LSU was narrowly behind Alabama in a preseason media poll to win the SEC West. LSU received 117 first-place votes, while Alabama had 165.
On the All-SEC first team, the Tigers boasted QB Jayden Daniels, WR Malik Nabers, OL Will Campbell, DL Mekhi Wingo, DT, Maason Smith and LB Harold Perkins.
