...

Miles on frosh: "We always look for a young player to improve our team."

HC Gus Malzahn

Gus Malzahn now on the SEC teleconference. "I feel good about where we're at as a team. We've got a few guys that are a little banged up."

@wareagleextra

Malzahn: "We're a little banged up right now, we had a tough go of it last week and had a couple of guys that didn't finish the game."

...

Malzahn on DW: "When we recruited him we knew he could catch the ball and do things after that.… He's 1 of the hardest workers on our team."

...

Malzahn on Rhett Lashlee as an OC: "He's a winner, he's won everywhere he's been and one of the best in the business."

@AUBlog

Malzahn says they'll prepare for both quarterbacks this week from LSU

...

Malzahn says Cassanova McKinzy, Kris Frost and Pat Miller were all three at Tuesday practice and "did a little bit"

@ITATJason

Malzahn: Frost, McKinzy, Patrick Miller at practice, but "trying to be smart with them."

...

Malzahn on LSU DC John Chavis: "He's definitely one of the best in the business. He's makes you earn it."

@TheMikeHerndon

Malzahn on LSU QBs: "The young one (Harris) is extremely talented. ... (Jennings) can run their entire offense."

...

Malzahn: "It's possible" for Nick Marshall and Jeremy Johnson to play at QB. As it is every week.

@JamesCrepea

Malzahn: Still looking for guys to step up and rush the passer. Getting into a rhythm

So AU equals MSU now?

Can someone tell me who all is banged up?

Our right tackle, Patrick Miller, and our two starting LBs, Cassanova McKinzy and Kris Frost. If there is a positive to the injuries, they mostly happened early so their backups all got a lot of reps (of course, we've gotten to play the backups a lot already this season, anyway).

Duke Williams (WR) and Jonathan Mincy (CB) got roughed up a bit, but they seem to be okay now.

Sammie Coates (WR) may or may not have recovered from his hammie issue.

Jermaine Whitehead (S) is indefinitely suspended. The guys behind him are possibly more talented, but one is relatively inexperienced and we'd love to be playing the other more at CB.

If AU manhandles LSU like MSU did, then I'm fine with it.

If AU manhandles LSU like MSU did, then I'm fine with it.

If LSU is throwing a hail mary at the end to win it, I'll be in the middle of a heart attack.

[doc4aday 1,887]

I think Les should be looking to put 2-3 men in the gap. This way he will run out of defenders for other gaps! I do not see the game as being close. We will strike early and often for 4 full quarters. A lot of pent up frustration for the past 2 seasons.

AU 45

LSU 17

We tend to like that number "45"

So AU equals MSU now?

From and Offensive Scheme and Zone Read perspective yes, from a we do it our way not like anyone else, no. Also it has been said MSUs front 7 is having a heck of a year

I would take an msu like performance minus not taking the foot off the gas
