Brian Kelly gives injury updates on several key players before South Carolina game
Published:
As the Bayou Bengals gear up for their next challenge, they are eager to reset and refocus after a much-needed bye week. Currently sitting at 4-1, LSU‘s last outing was a tough road loss against Lane Kiffin’s No. 4 Ole Miss Rebels.
LSU’s offensive unit has faced significant challenges—failing to score more than 20 points against three Power Four opponents thus far. This lack of production has left them ranked as the fifth-worst offense in the conference.
However, hope is on the horizon as head coach Brian Kelly provided some encouraging injury updates crucial for their upcoming matchup against Shane Beamer’s squad in Week 7.
Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, running back Caden Durham and offensive lineman Weston Davis are all set to play. Aaron Anderson is “probable” at this stage in the week, per Kelly.
Getting the offense back on track will be vital if LSU hopes to fend off an upset-minded South Carolina team eager to reenter the College Football Playoff conversation.
Despite their struggles, LSU is favored by 9 points against South Carolina according to the latest college football betting lines. Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. ET.
