SI online did a great story about The Pirate and The Air Raid in the SEC. The writer said as impressive as the win was it was just one but his uptake was he will have this time around a better defense and better players in general. Offensive players (better ones) will want to come play in the air raid.
"K.J., Kylin and the Pirate kicked open the door to the SEC frat house and tossed in a firebomb. They pulled their black-sailed ship beside LSU’s riverboat, hopped aboard, lit in flames and sailed away with purple-lined gold".
In true Pirate style after the game he was ask about playing LSU in his first game. His response was Kansas City Chiefs and a couple other NFL teams were busy so why not come Baton Rouge and play the National Champions!
