[autotag]Charles Turner[/autotag] is a player who has a lot of experience playing at a high level. He is a fifth-year Senior and he serves as the starting center for the LSU Tigers.
On Saturday night, he made a trio of uncanny errors. Turner was flagged for an illegal snap on three different occasions. The noise in Bryant-Denny Stadium must have been getting to him because it resulted in those penalties that stalled promising drives for the Tigers.
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] was asked what he thought about the pre-snap penalties and how they affected the Tigers offense after the game.
“Look, we’ve got an experienced center whois really good,” he said. “And they got a big nose tackle on them, it was really loud. It’s no excuse, but it goes into what I’m saying. You can’t have those mistakes and expect to go to Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama with those kinds of mistakes. So we’ve got to get better at it. We’ve got to prepare better, we got to coach our players better in those situations when we go on the road in these kinds of environments. So when we get another chance to go on the road and play a top-10 team, we play at a higher level, we can’t just play good. Good’s gonna get to beat against teams like this.”
LSU will look to rebound from the loss this weekend against the Florida Gators.
