The LSU Tigers have been hit hard by the injury bug to start out the year. Even before Fall camp was underway the team lost senior quarterback Myles Brennan. The latest injury to hit the team was senior defensive end Andre Anthony. The mental toughness and their ability to overcome adversity will be tested in the coming weeks.
Coming up will be their first SEC test in Mississippi State. Who will line up at left tackle? On Wednesday, Ed Orgeron stated that he was unsure if Cam Wire would be able to play on Saturday. The team went with Xavier Hill at left tackle against Central Michigan, but now it looks as though another name will be inserted into the starting lineup.
At practice, Anthony Bradford has been running with the first team at left tackle. He could get his first start there as Orgeron and the staff is looking for answers at left tackle. Bradford is a guard by trade, but the 365-pound sophomore will look to man the edge on the left.

On the defensive side of the ball, the team expects to have Jay Ward back in the lineup after missing the last two games. Ward moved over from cornerback to play safety in Daronte Jones’ defense. With a more prolific passing team coming to town, Ward’s return couldn’t come at a better time.
