[autotag]Jack Bech[/autotag] has caught 10 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown this season and has made a few appearances on special teams for [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag].
In the first half of tonight’s game, Bech found himself under the spotlight in a way that he didn’t want to be. Bech was a punt returner who muffed a punt in the second quarter after a three-and-out stop by the Tiger defense.
That fumble gave Florida the ball at the LSU 13-yard line and they proceeded to get a touchdown run out of it to take a seven-point lead. Although Bech made a mistake, Kelly had some nice words for him at halftime.
“You’re our best player,” Kelly said to Bech. “Now, I think he probably should fair catch that, that’s a lot to ask. That’s a four-point-plus hang time. But he’s such a competitor, he wants to try to win in those situations — he’s such a great kid and he’s our best player.”
It’s nice to see Kelly have his players’ backs no matter what.
