It sounds like LSU Football is in an interesting spot with their punting situation as they approach the start of the season. While the punter position is crucial, the fact that this is the primary concern rather than other positions might indicate that the team is in a relatively strong place overall. The competition between Peyton Todd and Blake Ochsendorf could go down to the wire, especially with Brian Kelly emphasizing the need for consistency.
Given that LSU opens against USC, a game where every play could matter, the punter’s performance might still play a key role despite Kelly’s optimistic view of the offense. However, the second game against Nicholls State could indeed serve as a less pressured environment to finalize the decision.
This scenario highlights the importance of depth and competition at every position, even special teams, in college football. It’ll be interesting to see who ultimately wins the starting job and how the situation unfolds in the early games of the season.
