How to watch LSU face Georgia State in final non-conference game in Week 12

Jayden Daniels will look to add to his Heisman case as LSU hosts a 6-4 Sun Belt team.

After delivering an offensive explosion in last week’s home win over Florida, LSU has the week off from SEC play as it wraps up its non-conference slate with a contest against Georgia State at Tiger Stadium.

The Panthers out of the Sun Belt enter this game at 6-4 overall. They began the year 4-0 but have had their share of struggles since, losing four of their last six. They struggle against the pass, and it could be another opportunity for [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] to pad his Heisman resume.

LSU Wire Roundtable: Staff predictions as Tigers take on Georgia State in Week 12

The Tigers face what should be a tuneup on Saturday night against Georgia State.

After bouncing back with one of the most prolific offensive performances in program history against Florida, LSU is looking to make it two in a row as the Tigers host Georgia State in what should be a tuneup against a Sun Belt team on Saturday night.

The Panthers are 6-4 on the season having dropped four of their last six after starting the year 4-0. Now, they’re looking to pull another colossal upset against an SEC team after beating Tennessee in 2019 and giving Auburn a run for its money in 2021.

Here’s how our staff sees Saturday night’s game against Georgia State playing out.

6 LSU true freshmen who could see more time against Georgia State

Here are some true freshmen that could see more time if LSU makes it a blow out on Saturday.

LSU closes out its non-conference schedule by hosting Georgia State on Saturday night.

The Tigers are heavy favorites and have fared well against the Group of Five in Brian Kelly’s tenure.

If this game follows a similar script to LSU’s other non-Power Five contests this year, the Tigers could get up big quickly, giving some true freshmen ample opportunity to get on the field.

With the playoff out of the picture, LSU could benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of its younger personnel.

Here are some true freshmen who could see increased playing time on Saturday night.

Injury Report: LSU RB Logan Diggs DOUBTFUL vs. Georgia State on Saturday

Logan Diggs is unlikely to suit up for the second week in a row.

As LSU prepares to face Georgia State in what it hopes will be a tuneup game on Saturday night, it looks like the team will be shorthanded at running back once again.

Starting tailback [autotag]Logan Diggs[/autotag], who missed last week’s game against Florida with an upper-body injury, was listed as doubtful to play in Saturday’s game against the Panthers by coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] on Thursday.

Diggs, a transfer addition from Notre Dame, has been a revelation for the Tigers’ run game this season. He leads LSU running backs with 113 carries and 635 yards, and he’s added six touchdowns on the year.

Assuming Diggs isn’t able to play, LSU will then likely turn to [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag] and [autotag]Noah Cain[/autotag], as well as true freshmen [autotag]Kaleb Jackson[/autotag] and [autotag]Trey Holly[/autotag]. [autotag]John Emery Jr.[/autotag], who saw quite a bit of action in Diggs’ absence last week, was lost early in the game with a torn ACL that will cost him the remainder of the season.

LSU to wear purple uniform combo Saturday night against Georgia State

The Tigers will break out the purple uniforms for the first time in 2023 on Saturday night.

LSU historically uses its non-conference games to don different uniform combos than its classic ones, and Saturday’s home game against Georgia State to finish up the non-conference slate will be no different.

The Tigers are a heavy favorite as they host Georgia State on Saturday. They’re looking to make it their second win in a row after they bounced back from the loss to Alabama with a 52-35 win over Florida on Saturday.
