when LSU played the bowl game


Yes, LSU played a bowl game with 39 scholarship players that were willing to play or physically able to play. But Brian Kelly did not inherit a team with only 39 scholarship players.

He had to recruit draft eligible players to stay with the program and not bolt….something Deboring is apparently unable to do.

The number for the bowl was actually 38 as Bech was a game time scratch.

Assuming all returned the following year, you take the 38 that were available, add your 30 transfers/recruits, plus Nuss, Boutte, Smith, Bech, and Emery who didn't play, you're at 73.

Per the 247 Team Talent Composite, 2022 LSU started the year with 72 scholarship players.

I'm assuming the extra player is Pig Cage, who transferred in the spring of 2022.
