Talk about being a tough act to follow.
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is faced with the task of living up to the expectations set by [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] in their second seasons on the bayou.
Both of them won a national championship. Can Kelly do the same?
He had a great year one as he led the Tigers to an SEC West championship and the Tigers’ first 10-win season since LSU won it all in 2019. With the recent success in women’s basketball and baseball, Kelly was asked at SEC media days in Nashville if he had championships on the brain.
“…certainly at LSU, all we can think about is championships after what Jay Johnson did in baseball and Kim Mulkey in basketball, our success in gymnastics,” Kelly said Monday. “I’ve got a big opportunity on my hands, as well, to continue the success of what was a very good first year.”
LSU kicks off its 2023 campaign on Sunday, Sept. 3 as the Tigers look to avenge last year’s loss to the Florida State Seminoles.
