LSU has been struggling to mesh on the offensive line through the first three games of the season, specifically with creating holes in the run game. The Tigers have sufficed in pass protection, but only average nearly 110 yards a game on the ground. Coach Brian Kelly says the group is still working to become more technically sound as a unit.
Kelly is also optimistic Garrett Nussmeier will have a good game, because he said yesterday that Nussmeier had a great week of practice and that torso injury is getting better. Kick off on Saturday is at 6:45 PM.
Tonight, in high school football there is a big battle involving teams that could play in Superdome in December as Destrehan hosts Alexandria Senior High. Also tonight, West Monroe hosts North DeSoto, Tioga travels to Pineville and Carencro hosts Zachary.
Louisiana Tech played both quarterbacks Trey Kukuk (Q-Kuhk) and Blake Baker in the dominant 49-14 win over New Mexico State last Saturday . The sophomore Baker threw for 182 yards and a T-D while rushing for 103 yards and a score. Coach Sonny Cumbie says the Bulldogs will continue to play both, but he was impressed with Baker’s ability to extend plays with his legs.
