Tiger Pride Podcast: After a rough 2020 season, LSU football is trending up in the new year

LSU was on the verge of ending its 2020 season in a historically negative light.

The Tigers had to travel to No. 6 Florida before hosting a hot Ole Miss squad in back-to-back weeks before inevitably jumping on the coaching carousel throughout the postseason for its multitude of staff changes.

But things have taken a brighter turn for LSU since that low point of being 3-5, as the Tigers rattled off a massive upset win over the Gators followed by a shootout victory against the Rebels. Freshman wide receiver Kayshon Boutte set a new LSU record with 308 receiving yards in the season finale, giving fans some newfound optimism to close out the year.

Since then, the Tigers have put together the No. 3 ranked recruiting class in the country after the early signing period and made two exciting coaching hires on offense.

On this week’s episode of the Tiger Pride Podcast, co-hosts Mark Clements and Jerit Roser talk about what new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz and passing game coordinator DJ Mangas might bring to the LSU attack and take an early look at how the 2021 Tigers might be shaping up.

LSU is still in the market for a new defensive coordinator, so be on the lookout for upcoming episodes of the podcast for further analysis and a peek at how the Tigers could finish filling out their star-studded recruiting class.
