LSU football Coach Brian Kelly said at SEC Media Days that the keys to the offense have been handed to Garrett Nussmeier to lead what is hoped to be an explosive offense.

Suspended LSU running back Trey Holly was set to have a court hearing tomorrow, but it has been pushed back until September 18th because more evidence is expected to be presented and the attorneys working the case want more time. Holly is facing a charge of illegal use of a weapon or dangerous instrumentality from a shooting that injured two people in Union Parish in February. Holly has said he’s innocent.

Gambling charges against former LSU receiver Kayshon Boutte have been dropped. He was arrested in January for placing bets on online when he was under the age of 21.

Cut 13 (12) “…the matter.”
Boutte is set to report to training camp next week with the Patriots.
