“He was on punt return, like I watched him all week at practice, and I told him like, ‘You’re gonna get you in that game if you do what you got to do.’ And he did, and y’all seen.”

Brian Kelly used one word to describe Jack Bech

LSU coach Brian Kelly is excited about what Jack Bech is going to be able to do in the future. Kelly used one word to describe Bech as a punt returner, “Fearless.”

“We’ll work on a couple things where ‘fearless’ shouldn’t be always the number one criteria for returning punts. We want some decision-making in that as well,” Brian Kelly said.

“But that’s how Jack plays, right? I mean, he’s at his best when he’s not worried about any factors other than competing and getting the ball in his hands and it’s fun to watch. I mean, that’s just the kind of player he is. But, you can see what kind of impact he can have in our punt return game.”
