View Photo »The idea is to get the four best teams in college football regardless of where those teams are located geographically or what conference they play in ... If we're going to have a playoff, let's make sure it's truly a playoff that's open to everybody.
I told (LSU coach) Les Miles this kid is going to make a lot of money one day, but I was wrong about him being a left tackle ... I swore he was going to be protecting someone's blind side.
There is a little more juice on the ball now ... Our ability to throw the football is a little better.
We have to make sure that we do a great job here in the state at uniting with these high school coaches along with the AAU coaches out there ... They are incredible. We've got to make sure that we blanket this state and get the best players out of the state of Louisiana. Just like (football coach) Les M...
I think Rivers is certainly a capable backup ... and with some development, Jeremy Liggins might be a pretty decent backup.
He has incredible contacts in the state. He has the support of the LSU basketball alumni, as well as former coaches, and I like the hire. I think he's a difference maker. If we had brought in someone who didn't understand Louisiana it would have taken time to get familiar with the state, but he's going ...
We had the best record in college football
Jeff: Les Miles played his hand like a smart gambler. Waited till Saban dealt him the right hand and nailed him. Probably one of the most popular victories in college football since Rutgers beat Princeton. Er, uh, or did Princeton beat Rutgers? You do good work—FB
If we can put the whole team on the field, avoid injuries and don't make mistakes, and we all report in good shape ... we'll be really good.
Zach Mettenberger has enjoyed the pressure of starter ... We have a strong chemistry in the throwing game.
We've always had the opportunity to throw
He has great speed and he's violent at the point of attack
I just know he's a guy who will be a long time pro and play for years and years
I couldn't be happier for Mo ... He's very deserving of this. He's a guy that will work long and hard to be the best professional football player that he can be. It also makes me very happy that he went to the Dallas Cowboys. He's going to look great wearing the star.

He plays with confidence and swagger ... I think he's really destined to be a long term NFL starter and one of those corners who's an All-Pro corner eventually.

We have been fortunate to have eight first rounders since 2006 and we look forward to continuing that on Thursday ... We've averaged at least six players in the NFL Draft since we've been here. Considering we are second in the conference in graduation rate, we feel we are doing great things here. Our me...

We feel like Zach Mettenberger has taken control of the passing game. He enjoys being the starter
I think what we've done on defense has established LSU as a very dominant mainstay of defensive football for three years
He's turned down opportunities. He could easily have been at any number of places in the SEC as defensive coordinator for a huge raise ... So I think this is really just market value.
Zach has been through a lot in his short career and understands the need for leadership and making a difference
We came off a really strong spring. Everybody realizes that we can be a really dominant football team
I think we're a talented team in the backfield ... I think that there are a number of quality guys there that will give us fresh legs, different styles of running and will give us some advantages. That's what you want out of your backfield. I like the veteran offensive line.
