Jaray Jenkins on Kayshoun Boutte's first touchdown since return: You'll see more

Jaray Jenkins shared in the exuberance of Kayshoun Boutte’s touchdowns last weekend, more than happy for his teammate.

While it wasn’t all good for the Tigers offense, the score from one of the top receivers in the nation was one of the lone bright spots. Afterwards, Jenkins warned the rest of the college football world that Boutte is coming for more.

“No doubt,” answered Jenkins, asked if he celebrated with Boutte after the touchdown. “… Happy for him. It was his first time since the injury or whatever. As soon as he scored, I went up to him and said, ‘First one since you’ve been back?’ He said, ‘Yeah, it’s been a year.’ He was happy, I was happy for him. I feel like now, he got in there, y’all finna see many more of them.”

Moreover, Boutte is slated to be one of the top wide receivers drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft. Still, he has the rest of the season to go until then, and he’s continuing to give his all to LSU.

It’ll be fun to watch Kayshoun Boutte over the rest of the season, along with Jaray Jenkins, as well. The Tigers offense has immense potential, but they’ll have to realize it more consistently to get victories.

Brian Kelly reveals the key to jumpstarting LSU offense, masking deficiencies

LSU is coming off its second defeat of the season, a humbling 40-13 loss at home to a top-10 Tennessee squad. The Tigers have been less potent lately, leaving coach Brian Kelly searching for ways of jumpstarting LSU’s offense as the second half of the season begins.

The Tigers averaged 39.3 points and 487.0 yards of offense per game in their first four games of the season but have managed just 17.0 points and 312.5 yards over the last two.

“Look, you watch the game as well as I do. Where were the problem areas?” Kelly asked a room full of reporters coming off the loss to the Volunteers. “The problem areas were we moved the ball between the 20s but we didn’t score in scoring zones. So if you really want to break it down, we have to be critically analyzing key third- and fourth-down situations and really red zone.”

LSU’s red-zone offense currently ranks 78th in the country, scoring on 81.5% of its opportunities. The touchdown rate has been considerably better, though, with LSU’s 70.4% rate ranking 37th nationally.

Still, there are a lot of things Kelly is analyzing to determine how to coax more out of his group.

“It’s not really about plays as much as it’s execution in those critical moments,” Kelly said. “So really probably spending more time during the week in those critical situations in third- and fourth-down and how we can support the group in that situation as well.

“We’ve got some new players on the offensive line. Maybe we have to do some more things. Maybe we have to move the pocket, maybe we have to protect with seven, do some things like that as well. I think its’ really more about situational offense than it is adding anything. Matter of fact I think we probably have to take some things out because we have to execute at a higher level. Maybe less is more and maybe that’s what we have to look at.”
