The LSU Football team is just under an hour away from kickoff against the UCLA Bruins in Tiger Stadium. This game gives LSU an incredible opportunity to play its first complete game of the season if they take this UCLA team seriously. The Tigers will get one of their biggest playmakers back this weekend while they'll be without some pieces on defense.

Chris Hilton is active for the first time this season as Brian Kelly announced on Friday Night. The Tigers finally get their starting wide receiver and their fastest player back after his bout with bone bruises in his foot this summer. LSU's passing attack will open up even more now with Hilton in the fold as he's a player defenses must account for.

West Weeks will miss he second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a leg injury. Weeks is currently in a walking boot which is surprising given the fact that Brian Kelly called him "questionable" to play this weekend.

Jalen Lee will also miss this weekend's game as he deals with a shoulder injury. Brian Kelly ruled Lee out a few days ago but, his abscence hurts as LSU is already thin at defensive tackle after losing Jacobian Guillory for the season.
