Brian Kelly says LSU needs to get Kyren Lacy more involved on offense

LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy entered the year expecting to be LSU’s next great pass catcher. In the first half against USC , he was living up to the hype, catching seven passes for 94 yards and a score over the first two quarters.

But it was a different story in the second half as LSU failed to keep Lacy involved in the game. He was targeted just once and didn’t record a catch in the second half.

On Monday, Brian Kelly discussed Lacy’s lack of production down the stretch.

“That’s clearly something Joe (Sloan) and I talked about,” Kelly said, “We need to get our best players the ball when it means the most.”

When LSU’s offense was at its best in the first half, Garrett Nussmeier was in rhythm was Lacy, racking up first downs. When Lacy wasn’t as involved, the LSU offense stalled in the third quarter and the Tigers failed to put USC away when they had the lead.

Going forward, it sounds like LSU will be ensuring Lacy is a focal point of the game plan throughout the contest.
