Trojans Wire discusses latest points of intrigue for USC-LSU football game

We cover the latest news affecting the LSU-USC game in Week 1.

If you have not been paying really close attention to the LSU football team six weeks before the big game against the USC Trojans, we talked about an important news story on our Monday night YouTube show at The Voice of College Football.

We picked up LSU Tigers Wire’s story on the suspension of LSU cornerback Javien Toviano, which mentioned this detail:

Toviano is entering his sophomore season, and the former four-star recruit from Arlington, Texas, appeared in 13 games with three starts as a true freshman in 2023. He was expected to compete for a potential starting spot this season, as well.

We discussed just how much this suspension might affect LSU’s secondary rotation, the quality of the LSU secondary in Week 1, and how the USC passing game with Lincoln Riley and Miller Moss can potentially exploit LSU’s notable weakness in the defensive backfield.

The discussion about Javien Toviano and the LSU secondary begins near the 47-minute mark of our show at The Voice of College Football:
