Last game, assistant coach Bob Starkey expressed his and Kim Mulkey’s frustrations with the way LSU played on Sunday in the blowout win over Louisiana. A 21 turnover performance left the Tigers with plenty to clean up on as they look towards the final few games of non-conference competition before it gets real with SEC play beginning.
“We were, as a staff, disappointed with the way our team played today. We’ve been imploring them to start games quicker. We tend to start slow,” Starkey said. “I mean 21 turnovers. And that’s not to take anything away from Louisiana, because I thought their kids played hard and they’re a well-coached team, but it was just very sloppy. We’re disappointed our fans had to watch that.”
The associate head coach even went a step further, to ensure his players got the message after the win. Now, we’ll see if the team got the message.
“I think we have a void at leadership,” Starkey said. “When you do that, that can affect your team chemistry. We have certain players that want to lead at certain times and that’s another area where we’re not consistent.”
