Part of our first two-a-days with Hester focuses on offensive skill guys, with a heavy leaning on your questions. First, a quick look at two questions from SEC Media Days: 1) Stingley at wide receiver? and 2) Data driving the QB decision. Recording our next episode early next week, with a focus on offensive line and defensive line, before moving on to linebackers and secondary.

Welcome to two-a-days, where Jacob Hester and I get you ready for the season ahead, one position at a time. Kind of.  Today's episode is the first part of a two-parter, and it focuses only on LSU's quarterback room, which Hester says is the program's best since he was on the team with JaMarcus Russell, Matt Flynn, and Ryan Perriloux.  We break down Myles Brennan, Max Johnson, and Garrett...

Note: To see some of the visual elements discussed on today's show, watch this interview on YouTube.  If you're a fan of LSU Football or Major League Baseball, you know Jack Marucci.    Maybe you've heard him on this podcast before – he's always among our most listened to episodes.  Maybe you read about his work with eye-tracking technology during LSU's Summer of 10,000 Catches. Or maybe you've se...

Blake Baker is all in at LSU.    It doesn't hurt that his wife is a former Tiger soccer standout from Mandeville. It doesn't hurt that he played four years of college football in New Orleans, either.    But mostly, Baker's bought into the vision Ed Orgeron has for the program, Daronte Jones has for the defense, and he has for the Tigers' linebackers.  He talks about giving...

There's more to Andre Carter than meets the eye. And plenty meets the eye. He's not all that far removed from an NFL career in which he registered 80.5 career sacks, and just by looking at him, you'd like his chances to suit up on Sundays this fall and get a sack or two off the edge. But Carter matches physical prowess with mental acuity. He's sharp, energetic, and curious – a language-learni...

Daronte Jones has been everywhere, man.    Paris. Amsterdam. Milan. London. The list of destinations visited by LSU's well-traveled defensive coordinator is endless.  But now, he's in Baton Rouge, looking to build a defense that can bring the Tigers back to championship heights.  On today's episode of Hey Fightin' Podcast, Jones talks about his journey around the world and back...

Ja'Marr Chase is on the verge of history. But he's still the same ol' Ja'Marr Chase.  He joins the podcast (47:18) to discussing changing the game at LSU, but staying the same in the NFL Draft process. Watch the conversation with Ja'Marr here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpbQRFMrDvA Before that, Jacob Hester joins me to recap Spring football and preview the Draft. Watch the conversation w...

JaCoby Stevens came to LSU determined to leave a legacy.   Consider it left.    Before setting Pro Day on fire with his outrageous performance in the vertical leap, Stevens sat down for one last interview before his NFL career begins.  Up for discussion are his goal to post "freaky numbers," his understanding of the investment teams are set to make in him, and his role at the n...

Another two-parter, with the fastest man in the #NFLSU Draft class...and Zach Von Rosenberg. Kary Vincent Jr. was born a sprinter.  Speed is his trademark, whether he's on the football field or the track.   But during his journey from LSU to the NFL, KJV has proved he's a fighter, too.   On today's Hey Fightin' Podcast, Vincent Jr. talks the heights -- winning the 2019 nat...

A special two-interview episode.  To watch on YouTube, click here .  Part 1 : Jabril Cox has nothing left to prove. In three seasons at the FCS level with North Dakota State, he was a three-time national champion, a First-Team All-American, and an unstoppable force on defense.  In his lone season at LSU, his talent spoke for itself, whether he was stuffing running backs, covering ti...

Tory Carter's dreams already came true when he won a national championship at LSU.  So why not make a new dream?   After bouncing from fullback to tight end and dominating on special teams as a Tiger, Carter is ready to embark on a new adventure, bringing his "mean, tough, nasty" persona to the NFL.   We talk about how his game will transition to the next level, after rounding out h...

Terrace Marshall Jr. always knew he'd end up here: on the brink of his NFL dreams coming true.   He just didn't realize how winding his path to this moment would be.    On this episode of Hey Fightin' Podcast, Terrace talks about his decision to opt out with two games remaining in the 2020 season, his friendship with Ja'Marr Chase, his plans to put on a show at LSU's Pro Day (spoile...

LSU's passing game coordinator DJ Mangas was on staff when the Tigers' offense blew up in 2019. B ack in a new and enhanced role, he's ready to help make history repeat itself in 2021.  Mangas makes his Hey Fightin' Podcast debut to talk about lessons learned from 2019, sitting alongside Joe Brady and Steve Ensminger for one of the wildest and most productive rides in college football history...

Meet Jake Peetz.   He's got ties to Joe Brady but plenty of his own ideas.   He's a Nebraska boy whose journey to LSU has taken him all over the world of sports: NBA strength and conditioning coach, NFL assistant coach, and now tasked with the role to bring the Tigers' offense back to 2019's heights.   Peetz sat down with LSU's Cody Worsham and a number of fans and ticket holders fo...

We kick off Season 3 of Hey Fightin' Podcast with the legendary No. 3 himself. Kevin Faulk  parlayed an All-American, record-setting career at LSU into a 13-year NFL career with the New England Patriots, where he played in five Super Bowls and won three. We sat down with Faulk ahead of a Super Bowl which will feature six former Tigers and a quarterback Faulk knows better than most. After that...

Freshman standouts Kayshon Boutte and Max Johnson hop on the podcast just minutes after their record-breaking performances in LSU's 53-48 win over Ole Miss on Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium.  After that, Shea Dixon of Geaux247 returns for a big picture view of LSU's 2021 recruiting class. Enjoy the 40th and final episode in Season 2 of Hey Fightin' Podcast. After all the challenges of 2020, the f...

A different flavor this week for The Hurry Up. I hopped on Zoom right after the game and took questions to break down LSU's 37-34 win over Florida. The result was a less analytical approach to the game and a more emotional, raw conversation about joy and fandom and grit and culture.  But we did talk Cade York's 57-yard game-winner, Max Johnson's moxie, the freshmen playing like vets, and, yes...

Hey Fightin' Podcast has opted back in for the 2020 season. A month-long hiatus ends today. We're talking about the struggles of November, the opportunities of December, and where things stand at quarterback, receiver,  and offensive line. We also talk Terrace Marshall's opt out, the defense's improvement, and what's at stake in the final three games of the season. 

Call them Thunder and Lightning. Call them Honey and Mustard. Call them the best pair of running backs in the SEC. Call them what you want: John Emery and Ty Davis-Price call themselves brothers.  This is an emotional episode. It's a funny episode. It's timely -- the two just combined for 223 yards and two scores against South Carolina. It's evergreen, too -- they go deep on their stories, th...

52-24. I know we went 15-0 and won a national championship last year, but that was fun. The unknowns entering the game. The performances during the game. The freshmen standouts. The veterans rising to the occasion.  This team has a lot of work to do and bigger games ahead, but that -- that was just good times. This is one of my favorite Hurry Ups, and not just because the game was so interest...

LSU punter Zach Von Rosenberg is today's guest (23:46).  But before we talk with the 30-year-old former MLB pitcher/walk-on QB/walk-on tight end turned national champion, we break down Coach O's announcement that TJ Finley will get the start at QB for LSU. What can we expect from Finley? What's the latest on Myles Brennan's health? Where does Max Johnson fit in. Plus, discussion on third down...
