Brian Kelly sidesteps addressing new Kyren Lacy evidence in latest statement

Fans responded with disappointment and ire in the wake of LSU's shocking loss to Ole Miss and repeated drama around Nussmeier's health.

Lacy’s attorney, Matthew Ory, has strongly challenged the official version of events. After reviewing surveillance and police body-camera footage, Ory publicly disputed the state’s account in a 44-minute interview with HTV’s Martin Folse. He argued that the video evidence places Lacy far from the scene at the moment of impact.

“At the time of impact, (Kyren Lacy) is 72.6 yards behind the vehicles… that is NOT how this story was ever painted,” Ory stated. He emphasized, “He was 72.6 yards [away] before they collide. He is almost a football field away back in his lane.”

It'd be nice to see Kelly show more love for one of his most productive players over his tenure with the program. At the very least, give more of a sign that he's happy to see this development and go beyond a cliche expression of care. We'll see what's next, but Kelly's decision-making might be putting him in more hot water.
