LSU, ranked 13th, is set to face the 23rd-ranked USC Trojans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, September 1, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT. This game presents LSU with a chance to secure their first opening week victory since 2019.
LSU offensive lineman Campbell expressed optimism during Fall Camp about the team’s preparation, underscoring the intensity and competition among teammates. “It’s Year 3. It’s time for us to do more than just achieve a 10-win season,” Campbell said, highlighting the team’s higher aspirations.
Regarding player injuries, LSU’s head coach Brian Kelly updated the status of wide receiver Chris Hilton, who is questionable for the upcoming game due to a bone bruise in his ankle sustained during Fall Camp. Although Hilton missed some recent practices, he participated in drills and is hopeful to play on Sunday.
Kelly also noted that if Hilton is unable to play, redshirt-freshman Kyle Parker would likely take his place, commending Parker’s consistency and reliability.
In other injury news, LSU offensive guard Miles Frazier, suffering from an ankle injury, is probable for the game. Frazier was recently in a walking boot, but the expectation is that he will be ready to play.
Additional LSU headlines include the betting lines for the upcoming game against USC, the team’s progress in recruiting, and praise for LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier from Nick Saban as a standout player for the upcoming season.
