After overcoming a three-score deficit to avoid an upset on the road against South Carolina, LSU returns home for what looks like it should be a much easier test against a rebuilding UCLA program coming off a 42-13 home loss to Indiana.
To make matters even better for the Tigers this week, their injury report is dwindling as the team gets back closer to full health. Coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] updated the status of several players on Thursday ahead of the game, including starting wide receiver [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag], who has missed the first three games with a bone bruise.
Hilton is listed as probable and is expected to make his season debut against the Bruins on Saturday. Elsewhere, defensive tackle [autotag]Jalen Lee[/autotag] is out with a shoulder injury, while linebacker [autotag]West Weeks[/autotag] was listed as questionable, with Kelly calling him a “gameday decision.”
The Tigers take on the Bruins at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday.
