“I’m pumped for this weekend,” Dodd told The Advocate Tuesday. Dodd has played limited action during his redshirt freshman and sophomore.
Pocic saw limited action at left tackle during LSU’s game against Mississippi State in Week 5. He started at center in all 12 games as a junior and recorded 216 knockdown blocks in his first three seasons, including 132.5 as a junior, according to LSUSports.net.
