LSU football vs. Texas A&M injury report
Heading into week 13, the Tigers are about as healthy as one could hope to be on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side of the ball, however, several players have been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, including cornerback JK Johnson and defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo.
In terms of this week’s update, junior running back Logan Diggs was the only name of note in Kelly’s weekly press conference on Monday.
“He should be available. He’s been dealing with an upper-body injury,” the Tiger head coach reported Monday.
“He tried diligently on Thursday (November 16), we put him through a pretty good workout on Thursday. We just felt like, again, with the depth that we have at that position, we wanted him – he’s a guy that initiates contact as a physical runner – we want him 100 percent for A&M.”
Another name to watch for is safety Andre Sam, who went down with an injury last weekend, but didn’t appear in this week’s report.
Betting odds, how to watch
For a third week in a row, coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers are again favored big in this weekend’s matchup. Lucky for Tiger fans, this has generally gone well for the purple and gold, as they’ve won their last two matchups by an average of 29.5 points.
According to Vegas Insider, LSU football is favored over the Aggies this week by about 13.5 points. Additionally, the over/under rests right around 66.5, so, big surprise, they once again expect something of a high-scoring affair in Baton Rouge.
Today’s game will kick off at 11:00 a.m. CST in Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA. The game will also be available to watch live from home on ESPN.
