Reports coming out of the LSU Tigers camp are not positive, with head coach Brian Kelly unhappy with the team's unruly behavior.
During practice on Aug. 7, a routine offense vs. defense drill ended up in a serious fight.
LSU reporter for the Advocate, Wilson Alexander, gave the details of the fight on his Twitter page.
“Fight broke out at #LSU practice during 11-on-11. Punches thrown, guys taken to the ground, multiple people involved. Malik Nabers and Kyren Lacy got sent to the locker room. Harold Perkins didn’t play another snap. Brian Kelly was not happy.”
Fans took to Twitter to express their opinion:
Kelly couldn't hide his disappointment with his players, saying:
“We have to be able to maintain our emotions, while staying aggressive. It’s up to you all to figure that out, it’s not something that the staff can do for you. Respect your brother out here always.”
Some fans claimed such incidents were needed for cultivating a winning mentality in the team. They also made a reference to a similar occurrence in 2019, when the Tigers went on to win the college football national championship title.
Brian Kelly's journey with the LSU Tigers so far
Kelly became the head coach of the LSU Tigers in November 2021 after over a decade at Notre Dame. In his first season in charge of the LSU Tigers, he led them to a 6-2 conference record and a 10-4 overall record.
He is preparing for his second season at the helm and will hope that what happened today is put to rest and the team can focus on the upcoming season.
