NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- LSU defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo and running back Josh Williams both delivered the same pointed message about the Tigers entering this season: "We're coming."
But LSU coach Brian Kelly tamped down runaway expectations Monday at SEC media days.
"They're coming," he told ESPN, "but I don't know that they're there yet."
The Tigers surprised many by going 10-4 in Kelly's first season in charge, including an overtime win over rival Alabama. But they followed that signature victory with a close call at Arkansas and losses to Texas A&M and Georgia.
