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.


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.

The self imposed scholarships. And a couple transferred out after spring. But 39 is not true according to the LSU GEAUX247 site. Sporting News had the same numbers.
