Kelly: It's going to be a good football team. We've got some work to do. When we compliment each other offensively and defensively, it's going to be a good football team. #LSU

Kelly on O-line: There are some things schematically we'd like to do better, but it's a really good unit. #LSU

Kelly on Harold Perkins: I like him where he is, inside the core of our defense. What Blake and I talked about was we need to get him to narrow his focus a little more. He has tendency to want to do too much, eager to make plays. #LSU

More Kelly on Perkins: Now that he's played a game in the box you're going to see huge improvement. #LSU

#LSU coach Brian Kelly on the SEC teleconference: Certainly a disappointing loss. Certainly we're going to look to rebound this weekend at home. We're celebrating 100 years of Tiger Stadium. The guys are excited about playing in front of home fans.

Kelly on injured CB Zy Alexander: I think you will see his workload increase dramatically over the next few weeks, starting with increased reps on special teams Saturday. #LSU

Kelly on letting Nussmeier run: He's extremely capable. We want to take advantage of his strengths. We can move him around a little bit and the occasional run. As long as it's the right time or place he can be a weapon. #LSU

#LSU’s safety is corps is a little banged up, Brian Kelly says. Jardin Gilbert is dealing with a thigh contusion and will be out for the first half on Saturday because of Sundays targeting call. Jordan Allen is also dealing with turf toe, but he practiced yesterday.

Kelly: This is about finishing. When you have opportunities late in the game, you've got to finish. I'm proud of our guys. It's a short week. We were out there (Tue.) 96 degrees on what normally a short day and they competed. #LSU

#LSU John Emery is expected to miss the season. Here's what it means for the Tigers. theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sp…

Wow That’s pretty rapid for anyone, much less a guy who pole vaults all the time.

In summation as the hearing winds down... The NCAA’s House settlement is on hold, as Judge Claudia Wilken has ordered the parties to amend language in the settlement related to limiting third-party/booster pay to athletes. They will get back to her in three weeks.

Brian Kelly on his radio show: A lot of people made a lot of what happened after the game when I slammed my fist. I’m frustrated for our players. They’re getting close. #LSU

Kelly: Good times are coming, and not just this year but for a long time. Quite a statement. #LSU

Kelly said John Emery (ACL) will continue to be part of the team and travel with them. Had surgery today. Said he got injured going out of bounds and leaned heavily on the leg that had the ACL tear. #LSU

Brian Kelly reacts to John Emery's ACL tear: 'How can this be fair in any way to this poor kid?' theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sp…

Kelly on run game: We have all the schemes in the world. We just need to execute better. #LSU

By a toe ... it's over. Harsh. Very harsh. But that was still a helluva play by Lamar Jackson. #Chiefs #Ravens
