LOOK: LSU safety Joe Foucha hilariously reacts to news academic suspension is ending

The suspensions that led into LSU’s football season are beginning to come to an end. One of the last remaining players out was Tiger safety Joe Foucha. His suspension will come to an end this weekend against New Mexico and he seems more than excited about the news.

Foucha responded to a tweet reporting his return with a pair of photos. It looks as though the former-three star senior can’t believe what he’s hearing about his return.

Foucha had spent the last four years at Arkansas. He totaled 230 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 12 pass deflections, and four interceptions. He then transferred to Baton Rouge ahead of this season before news of his academic suspension came out.

Foucha wants you to know you heard it from him first from the reaction in his photos. He likes what he’s been told and it will be a concern for the Auburn offense when he hits the field for LSU for the first time next weekend.

Brian Kelly announces Kayshon Boutte to miss game vs New Mexico due to birth of first child

When LSU takes on New Mexico on Saturday, it will be without wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. Brian Kelly announced Thursday he’s excused from the matchup as he and his girlfriend expect their first child.

Kelly made the announcement in his press conference ahead of the Tigers’ matchup against the Lobos. Boutte has 10 receptions for 93 yards through three games for LSU this season.

“‘Kay’ is not going to be playing this weekend. He has been excused to be with his girlfriend, who is expecting their first child,” Kelly told reporters. “They have a baby boy on the way and probably may have already had the baby boy, but he is with her and we expect some great news here, hopefully in the next few hours. So I have excused him from playing this weekend and we wish him and his new mom all the best.”

Boutte was seen as a potential difference-maker in the LSU offense this year, but still doesn’t have a receiving touchdown to his name. It’s a stark contrast from last year, he had 83 receptions for 1,244 yards and 14 touchdowns to help lead the Tigers offense.

Earlier this week, Kelly talked about what it’ll take to get Boutte back on track and said there are a few different factors in play.

“I think that’s a little bit of both. I think, look, this is never one-sided,” Kelly said. “It’s never all on the player, it’s never all on the coach at this level. I think you have to look at both, right? We have to look at how we can move him around and utilize his talents, and then he’s got to continue to work hard and work on his skill set and continue to work hard in practice.”
