Jan. 2: Changes ahead for LSU after a 10-3 finish in Brian Kelly's second year

Advocate columnist Scott Rabalais and beat reporter Wilson Alexander check in from Tampa, Florida, to take stock of the Tigers' 35-31 victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday.

Brought to you by Champion Wealth Strategies.

Wilson and Scott discuss Garrett Nussmeier and the Tigers' 98-yard go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, the defensive stops LSU made to clinch the win and potential change — to the staff and to the roster.

Will LSU make changes on defense? Wilson and Scott discuss that, as well as whether interim co-offensive coordinators Joe Sloan and Cortez Hakton should earn full-time promotions.

The guys also discuss futures of several returning players, including Kaleb Jackson, Kyren Lacy, Chris Hilton, Harold Perkins, Whit Weeks and others.
