US EditionNo. 17 Vanderbilt Looks to Bounce Back Against 10th-Ranked LSU After Alabama Loss
LSU faces multiple injuries to key players including linebacker Whit Weeks and defensive tackle Bernard Gooden while exploring alternate lineup options for improved offensive line performance.
- On Saturday, the Tigers travel to Nashville, Tennessee, after last week's encouraging 20-10 win over South Carolina.
- Injuries have left several players uncertain, including Gooden and Weeks; Gooden is doubtful with a bruised collarbone, Anderson missed last Saturday’s game, and Mubenga has a high ankle sprain.
- Right tackle is a spot to watch as Davis has mostly struggled; he missed the Ole Miss game with injuries, and true freshman Curne filled in amid debate over moving Thompson.
- Kelly says red-zone efficiency must improve for the offense to match the defense, noting three trips inside the 10-yard line produced only three points.
- Despite replacing all five starters, LSU's offensive line has given up just 7 sacks while attempting 217 passes, and Green won the John Mackey Award, highlighting his role in the offense.
