This was likely going to be the case with the storms in southern Louisiana taking place. LSU is prepping to get Max Johnson ready to take the field at The Rose Bowl for the first-ever matchup between UCLA and LSU. The team will work out at NRG Stadium per sports information director Michael Bonnette.
