ABC Broadcast show Brian Kelly rips into LSU Wide Receiver Chris Hilton Jr

This season hasn’t exactly been what Chris Hilton Jr was hoping for coming into the season. Throughout the offseason, Chris Hilton was a starter for the Tigers at wide receiver, but a foot injury quickly sidelined him, missing a large portion of the season. Chris Hilton finally returned to the lineup for LSU against Texas A&M and made his season debut.

The Tigers Wide Receiver has struggled to get back into shape specifically on jump balls. Against Texas, A&M Hilton mistimed his jump on two plays that could have been huge gains, and did the same on one play against Alabama.

The problem carried over into this weekend’s game when Hilton mistimed a jump on a great ball from Garrett Nussmeier deep downfield. As Hilton came off the field and onto the sideline, the ABC cameras followed Chris Hilton and we saw a very animated Brian Kelly absolutely ripping into Chris Hilton Jr.

Brian Kelly blow-ups on the sidelines have become a common sight this season, with Shelton Sampson, Damian Ramos and Garrett Nussmeier all falling victim to Kelly’s wrath.

If Brian Kelly really did call Chris Hilton Jr uncoachable, that sentence stands out, especially this weekend. We’ve already seen Bradyn Swinson and Sage Ryan benched for the start of the game for “Not meeting program standards”. We don’t know what has been going on behind the scenes with Chris Hilton and the coaching staff, but add the fact that the players will be benched for the start of the game and the dressing room could have some problems. We’ll all be waiting to hear Brian Kelly’s explanation for both situations in the Post Game, but for now we’ll have to see if LSU turns the game around.
