LSU football is reportedly using a quote attributed to Kentucky quarterback Kenny Minchey for motivation as they prepare for the upcoming game against Kentucky on October 10. The circulating quote suggests that LSU's defense hasn't faced a challenge like Kentucky's offense, although it appears the quote's authenticity is unclear.
