Matt House spoke to reporters on Friday, and the LSU defensive coordinator spoke about the depth at cornerback, something that has become a stronger area after there were questions about it this offseason.

House counted 6 players in the mix, including 4 veterans and 2 younger guys.

“We’ve got great competition there,” House said. “… I see that being just that, continuing competition. We’re going to evaluate it again after the game Saturday. But a position we were a little bit concerned about the depth coming in has kind of been a position that’s developed into almost a strength. I’m excited to see where that goes, and I love the competition that’s being bred there, and those guys, I love their approach every day.”

At linebacker, House said Micah Baskerville, who has been a steady starter for nearly two years, is a versatile player who can contribute at all 3 positions.

“He’s a very intelligent player, just need to see him keep applying the physical part of the game,” House said. “Which he’s doing a good job growing from there.”
