WATCH: LSU DE Christian LaCouture says he lost ‘about 10 pounds’ during Florida game

Saturday was a long day for LSU DE Christian LaCouture, as the senior played a big role in the Tigers’ 17-16 victory at Florida, staying on the field for every defensive play for LSU.
That’s no easy task for a defender, especially one who has to try to get after quarterbacks and tackle running backs every play.
In this video from Mike Gegenheimer of The Advocate, LaCouture says he lost about 10 pounds while playing every defensive snap against Florida:

Judge for yourself, but it looks like LaCouture may indeed be a little leaner this week than he was last. Hopefully the Pedialyte he drank helped replenish the fluids he lost in the hot Florida stadium on Saturday.
LaCouture faces another tough test on Saturday afternoon, as LSU hosts red-hot Auburn. It’ll be another steamy afternoon game, and LaCouture will likely be counted on to play as many snaps as he can once again.
