Injury Report for LSU
Derek Fountain didn't play against Charleston Southern after suffering an injury in the pregame before the Kansas State game but, he should return Friday. The LSU Tigers will continue to be without transfer center Noah Boyde who's still recovering from his surgery last season. Tyrell Ward was ruled out for the season before the season opener by Matt McMahon as he steps away to focus on his mental health.
A Great Chance for LSU to land in the Top 25
Despite beating Kansas State no one believes in LSU as the Tigers didn't receive any votes in the AP Poll while Kansas State received three votes. This weekend, LSU has the chance to impress and beating Pittsburgh and either UCF or 19th ranked Wisconsin should land LSU in the Top 25. Matt McMahon got a massive performance out of his group in their last big game and we'll see if they're able to do it again.
