Tomorrow night in Tiger Stadium, it is third ranked Texas A&M versus 20th ranked LSU. Last year, LSU’s defense allowed A&M quarterback Marcel Reed to come off the bench and rush for three touchdowns in the 38-23 loss for the Tigers. LSU sophomore defensive tackle Ahmad Breaux remembers it all too well and says the team is more prepared this time around.
LSU linebacker Whit Weeks remains doubtful with a bone bruise on his ankle, but Coach Brian Kelly says defensive tackle Bernard Gooden and edge rusher Jimari Butler are expected to play after missing last week’s loss to Vanderbilt due to injuries.
For the Saints, Chris Olave, Chase Young, and Alontae Taylor were all back at practice yesterday after missing Wednesday’s practice. New Orleans hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at 3:05.
