Derrick Brooks, Booger McFarland fire hilarious shots at each other ahead of Florida State vs LSU

College football can bring out plenty of rivalry between fans. It can bring it out even more so when it comes to alumni or former players. With Florida State and LSU kicking off soon, two of the respective school’s best aired their thoughts out pregame.

Former Seminole LB Derrick Brooks started with a tweet about bringing his best after some LSU fans weren’t going to let him enjoy this like another game. Brooks tagged former LSU DL and current ESPN analyst Anthony ‘Booger’ McFarland. In turn, McFarland fired back ahead of his former school’s matchup down in New Orleans.

I met this man in 1999 and for the first time since we do battle Old man once told me it’s a po dog that want fight in his own backyard. Oh yeah. You right my friend it’s time #GeauxTigers https://t.co/w1AKB3yJ7Z

The back and forth between the former defensive stars was comical heading into the matchup. With plenty on the line for both schools, this won’t be the last of the back and forth we see tonight from the two fanbases or the former alumni.

Four LSU players ruled out ahead of Week 1 matchup vs Florida State

There have been four players on the LSU Tigers’ roster ruled out ahead of Sunday night’s matchup vs. the Florida State Seminoles. Sevyn Banks, Quency Wiggins, Xavier Hill, and Jordan Allen were all in street clothes on Sunday night for the Tigers and appear to be ruled out for the game, per Brody Miller of The Athletic. Kickoff for the game is slated for 7:30 PM EST on ABC.

Wiggins was one of the highest-rated defensive linemen in America coming out of high school. According to On3’s 2022 Consensus Rankings, he was rated as the No. 54 overall prospect in the nation. He was seen using a scooter with a boot on his left foot, per Wilson Alexander of The Advocate.

Jenkins is one of the more explosive wideouts on the LSU roster. Last year, he snagged a 28-yard touchdown to lift the Tigers to a heart-stopping victory over the Texas A&M Aggies. He stepped up in a big way in 2021, hauling in 34 catches, 502 receiving yards, and six touchdowns.

B.J. Ojulari’s freakishly talented brother, Azeez Ojulari, starred for Georgia before moving onto the New York Giants in the NFL. Both were dominant pass rushers during their college football careers. Last season for the Tigers, B.J. Ojulari racked up 11.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks and nine quarterback hurries. As a freshman at LSU in 2020, the Marietta, Georgia, native suited up in eight games and totaled 16 tackles with five tackles for loss, four sacks, one pass defended, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Ali Gaye is expected to be one of the top defensive ends in college football this season. He missed most of the 2021 season due to injury. His junior season at LSU in 2020, Gaye earned second-team All-SEC honors after racking up 32 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks. He also tied for the team lead in pass breakups that season with six.

Kickoff for the matchup tonight between Florida State and LSU is slated for 7:30 p.m. EST on ABC. The game will be played in the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
