LSUDad Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Purdue will play LSU in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl at 1 p.m. ET on Jan. 2 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs. The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl announced Sunday that Purdue (8-5, 6-3 Big Ten) will play No. 16 LSU (9-4, 6-2 SEC) at 1 p.m. ET on Jan. 2 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. The game will be broadcast on ABC. It will be the first time the two programs have ever met on the football field. Purdue, which won the Big Ten West for the first time in program history this season, will be coming off a 43-22 loss to No. 2 Michigan on Saturday in the conference title game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Boilermakers are looking for back-to-back nine-win seasons for the first time since 1997-98. LSU was defeated by No. 1 Georgia 50-30 in the SEC Championship on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Before taking the helm for the Tigers, first-year head coach Brian Kelly earned six wins against the Boilermakers as the coach at Notre Dame. Entering the matchup against the Boilermakers, they have lost their last two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 LSU’s Direction! The culture is being built and recruitshave taken notice of what is transpiring in Baton Rouge under Head Coach Brian Kelly. Despite Saturday’s loss in the SEC Championship Game, prospects understand the process, showing appreciation for year one with this new staff. What are LSU commits saying following the conference title game? Here’s a look into what players are posting on social media: Tayvion Galloway - Tight End - 2024 Commit Galloway has been one of the Tigers’ more vocal commitments. He’s quick to get on Twitter to help recruit, show love or post his appreciation for what Kelly and the Bayou Bengals are developing in Baton Rouge. The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder has all the tools to compete in the SEC with the developmental skills this coaching staff attains. Kelly has been working to develop relationships early in the 2024 cycle, clearly making an impression on Galloway over a short period of time. Galloway has proven to be a threat as a blocking tight end and has shown flashes of his soft hands when becoming a pass catcher. After finishing just his junior year, he has all the tools to develop into a lethal threat for this LSU offense when his time comes. Jaxon Howard - EDGE - 2023 Commit Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 245 pounds, there isn’t much that Howard can’t do on a football field. His father being a second round NFL draft pick also puts him in great position as well. You can tell the natural instincts Howard possesses on the football field, which could play into watching film with his father. Once Howard committed to LSU in early July, this program took off on the recruiting trail, setting the tone for the future of this program. The No. 1 player in Minnesota, the Tigers marched up to the north and stole one of their finest athletes. But Howard is helping the Tigers in recruitment, being extremely vocal on social media. Along with his help on the recruiting trail, he consistently posts about the trajectory of this program. Here’s a look into what Howard retweeted last night via his Twitter account: Mac Markway - Tight End - 2023 Commit LSU’s lone tight end commit took in his first LSU game day against Tennessee and continues to reaffirm his love for the Tigers ever since. If you check Markway’s social media accounts, it’s evident he already bleeds purple and gold and this program is surely getting something special in the dynamic tight end. Markway has the ability to be a dominant blocker for the Tigers. He’s big enough to hammer safeties in space, or a linebacker, as well as help to set the edge against a defensive end during an outside zone play. Regardless of what he does, he’s physical. He’s also a prime target near the goal line or during short yardage because he’s such a good blocker that teams will come downhill at him. If a linebacker or safety negates the pass coverage responsibility with Markway, there’s a chance to strike. That will leave plenty of play-action passing situations available for Markway and the Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Brohm has left Purdue for Louisville, but LSU will still faced a Brohm-coached Boilermaker squad. Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski named Boilermakers offensive coordinator Brian Brohm, Jeff’s brother, as the team’s interim head coach for the Citrus Bowl game against LSU.

LSUDad Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 LSU defensive lineman BJ Ojulari and cornerback Mekhi Garner are both opting out of the Citrus Bowl to prepare for the NFL Draft, head coach Brian Kelly confirmed on Saturday. Ojulari, a junior from Marietta, Ga, previously declared for the draft last week but didn't announce his plan for the bowl game. Many scouts have Ojulari being selected in the first couple of rounds of the draft. Garner, a junior from Mesquite, Texas and a UL-Lafayette transfer, accepted an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl on Dec. 8, indicating his plans to leave LSU for the NFL Draft. Kelly said that senior defensive back Jay Ward, who is also headed to the NFL Draft, will replace Garner at cornerback for the Citrus Bowl.

LSUDad Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Derrick Davis travelling with LSU to Citrus Bowl despite entry into transfer portal Ethan Stone | 2 hours ago Derrick Davis, an LSU running back/defensive back, is making the trip with LSU to the Citrus Bowl against Purdue, a school spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. This is odd considering Davis entered his name into the transfer portal on Dec. 12. Davis has taken a majority of snaps at defensive back, appearing in 2 games this season.

LSUDad Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 LSU will be without star receiver Kayshon Bouttewhen it plays Purdue in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Monday. Coach Brian Kelly didn't provide a reason for Boutte's absence in a statement released by the school Wednesday. Kelly did include in the statement that Boutte is enrolled at LSU for the spring semester -- perhaps a signal that he intends to play another season, as he had previously announced. Despite experiencing a dip in production this season, Boutte was considered to be a top prospect at his position when he said earlier this month that he was returning for his senior season.

houtiger Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 After his soph year I thought he'd go first round. This season was not so hot. He probably dropped a round, maybe second? He has a daughter now. NIL money would let him take care of her, but second round money is better. If he came back, there is the risk of a serious injury and he might never get the big NFL payday. All considered, I'd probably go to the NFL also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I have no inside info. However, they way it was reported it sounds like he was suspended, and it was probably academics, and in response he declared. Whatever went down NFL teams will find out and he will have to explain.
