LSU’s trip to Las Vegas for the opening game of the season against USC ultimately wasn’t a productive one.
The Tigers fell 27-20, squandering a fourth-quarter lead against the Trojans to drop their fifth-straight season-opener. On the bright side, the team returns home for Week 2 against Nicholls in what should be a tuneup game, and the team is relatively healthy entering the week.
The one piece of notable injury news [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] provided was that defensive end [autotag]Princeton Malbrue[/autotag], who was injured on a kickoff return, suffered what is thought to be a “serious” knee injury.
Receiver [autotag]Kyle Parker[/autotag], who made the start in place of an injured [autotag]Chris Hilton Jr.[/autotag] but exited the game early, suffered a UCL injury and is listed as doubtful as he is not expected to suit up against the Colonels.
However, Kelly said that while some other players will likely be listed on Wednesday’s injury report with “bumps and bruises,” everyone else is expected to play including Hilton, who is expected to start at receiver.
