Episode Notes

LSU running back Harlem Berry joins us for an exclusive 1-on-1 and explains why he chose to return to LSU instead of entering the transfer portal.

The former five-star breaks down his confidence in Lane Kiffin’s offense, why Frank Wilson leaving LSU for Ole Miss didn’t factor into his decision, and what he’s focused on improving as he prepares for his sophomore season.

We also discuss three new assistants joining LSU’s staff, why the LSU administration is fully bought in on Kiffin, and what that level of support means for the program moving forward.

And in a moment LSU fans will enjoy, former Ole Miss quarterback Luke Altmyer praises Lane Kiffin’s role in Ole Miss’ success—a comment that hits very differently depending on which side of the rivalry you’re on.
