<\/div>\n
As the Tigers’ first season under Brian Kelly<\/strong> nears ever closer, the former Notre Dame Head Coach has a handful of tough questions to answer before the end of LSU Fall Camp.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rebuilding a roster from 38 total scholarship players, Kelly relied on a strong 2022 freshman class and an all-out transfer portal assault in order to make LSU competitive. He signed just under 20 transfers,<\/a> including seven different defensive backs.<\/div>\n
Much of college football’s LSU storylines center around Kelly’s inexperience within the SEC. Then there is LSU’s ranking outside of the top 25. And of course, much is written their quarterback competition and the names who left the Tigers’ roster for SEC West rivals (Eli Ricks, Max Johnson, Dwight McGlothern, etc). Many analysts are missing the broader picture.<\/div>\n

LSU Fall Camp: Five Questions The Tigers Must Answer<\/h2>\n
Full of uncertainty and inexperience at different positions, Kelly’s debut squad is still very talented in all three different phases. It is replete with NFL-ready Tigers players. So what are\u00a0 2022 LSU’s biggest problems?<\/div>\n

1. SOLVE THE RUNNING BACK ROTATION <\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite losing talented sophomore Corey Kiner<\/strong> to his hometown Cincy Bearcats or recent rising back Tre<\/strong> Bradford <\/strong>for the second transfer of his LSU career, there is a lot of talent with LSU’s four running backs left on the roster.<\/p>\n

John Emery Jr<\/a> and Noah Cain<\/strong> are the headliners. Cain is finally getting a chance to strut his stuff during fall camp. Furthermore, when studying former walk-on Josh<\/strong> Williams’ <\/strong>performance during LSU’s Spring Game or thus far in Fall Camp, you can see an intense combination of violent running & sneaky athleticism. There are also the potentially elite prospects of sophomore back Armoni Goodwin. <\/strong>\u00a0You have to feel this could be a substantial rotation for running backs coach Frank Wilson and offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock<\/strong> to deploy.<\/div>\n
