LSU among the top 20 in the preseason AP poll released on Monday

A look at where the LSU Tigers fall in the preseason AP poll.

On Saturday the LSU Tigers wrapped up the first week of fall camp with the scrimmage Saturday. The team now heads into week two before they begin to prep for the opener against UCLA in Pasadena.

Max Johnson and the offense look to get the team back on track in 2021. In the final two games of the season, the offense scored a total of 90 points, well the team did. Kayshon Boutte could be a rising star along with Johnson as the 2021 season gets going.

The defense with hopefully a healthy Derek Stingley Jr wants to fix a unit that gave up 82 points in that same stretch. As a whole, the unit surrendered more than 40 points in a game five times.
