The trash talk was flying, but it was coming from just one corner of the ring.
It began with LSU linebacker Patrick Queen, who started the day by saying the Tigers are going to “dominate” the Sooners offense.
Biletnikoff Award winner and LSU wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was not holding any punches when asked about facing Parnell Motley.
“Nothing stands out about him too much. I watch him.” Chase told reporters at Peach Bowl media day.
“I see he’s — I don’t know if he’s that long. I don’t really know how tall he is. I see he’s kind of fast. He’ll try to put your hands on somebody just a little bit, but I’m ready for it. I want him to put his hands on me.”
When asked why Chase had a simple response: “Because he’s going to feel me then.”
Motley, on the other hand, was very complimentary of not just Chase, but the entire Tigers receiving corps.
“That’s crazy. Tight hips and physical? Watch the film, watch every play and what I do.” Motley said.
“It’s all good. We’re going to sit in our corner. Our coach told us not to talk trash and be complimentary. That’s what I do, be complimentary. They do a great job, great receivers, they have great hands and great speed. I’ll leave it there.”
The two will become very acquainted with one another as they will be the premier matchup on the outside when Oklahoma is on defense.
The Sooners kickoff against LSU on Saturday, Dec. 28 at 3p.m. CT on ESPN.
