DJ Uiagalelei made his way to Florida State from Oregon State to try and relaunch FSU’s conference title/national title hopes.
Instead, he’s the most public player held responsible (fairly, for the most part) for a calamity of a start for Mike Norvell’s program.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, I discuss the fact that for a third straight year, LSU under Brian Kelly starts the year 0-1.
That won’t lead to Kelly’s potential firing/seat-warming on its own with a long season still to play out, but it could if things spiral.
Watch for South Carolina and Arkansas to start having similar conversations.
The Pac-12 (2?) got off to good starts with blowout FCS wins to start a must-win 2024 campaign.
Then it was announced they won’t renew a scheduling partnership with the Mountain West in 2025. What does that mean for their rebuild prospects? (21:50)
