LSU football is only ten days away from kicking off its season against Clemson on the East coast. Head coach Brian Kelly named three solidified starters on the offensive line but says starting jobs at left guard and right tackle are ongoing. The battle at left guard includes Paul Mubenga, Coen Echols and DJ Chester. For most of fall camp, Chester took first-team snaps at left guard but recently has been working at both center and right tackle. Kelly says to expect more than the same five linemen to rotate in with the group when the season begins.
The battle at right tackle includes sophomore Weston Davis and freshman Carius Curne.
A doubleheader involving LSU’s two basketball programs is set to take place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Saturday, December 13th in the Compete 4 Cause Classic. The opener of the doubleheader will feature LSU women’s basketball taking on Louisiana Tech. The second matchup will feature LSU men’s basketball team taking on the SMU Mustangs. Long-time LSU SID Kent Lowe says both LSU teams will benefit from playing in New Orleans.
As UL Monroe’s kickoff versus Saints Francis continues to creep up, head coach Bryant Vincent says the Warhawks still have a lot to learn from. He says the offense has to execute more consistently and become better disciplined.
