Kelly optimistic transfer Anderson can boost LSU return game

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU coach Brian Kelly sounds confident that Alabama transfer Aaron Anderson can transform the fifth-ranked Tigers' return game from a turnover-prone liability into a game-breaking asset.

"He's pretty dynamic," Kelly said Monday. "It's just a different look back there."

Anderson, a receiver from New Orleans, was named LSU's primary returner on Monday as the Tigers prepared to face No. 8 Florida State in Orlando this Sunday night.

It's a rematch of a season-opener last year that saw special teams blunders by LSU -- including two muffed punts -- play a pivotal role in a 24-23 FSU victory that was decided on a missed extra point after the Tigers had scored a potential tying touchdown at the end of regulation.
