QUOTES OF THE DAY
“Hat’s off to LSU. They kicked us. They out-manned us. That’s where we stand right now.”
— Head coach Robbie Caldwell on the Commodores’ loss to LSU
“They were big and strong and fast and well coached. They play their schemes well. I don’t think it was LSU being as good as they are – which they are. They are very talented – but as an offensive line we didn’t do our assignments and let too many people through and didn’t give Larry [Smith] time and didn’t open up lanes for our running backs. We just let our team down.”
— Co-captain Joey Bailey on LSU’s toughness
TWEET OF THE DAY
@TheRealAdamGee: Jay Cutler was awesome today. Wish I would have started him instead of Matt Schaub on my fantasy team. #NFL
