Odd rash of injuries and defections has left LSU pretty thin in the defensive backfield. Safety Todd Harris lost for the year against NW St. CB Flott injured last week against Utah St. and won't be available. CBs Kelvin Joseph and Kenan Jones entered the transfer portal, both would have played this year.
Kary Vincent struggled so far this year after playing very well last year, so last week they moved him to more of a safety role which looked to suit him better. The shuffle allowed Fulton to move to a slot corner position where teams have been lining up their best WR on us. The result was nice, but can they do it now with all the injuries?
With Flott out and assuming Jones is red-shirted, LSU is down to Stingley, Fulton and Ward for scholarship CBs. Hope nobody gets hurt.
That includes the UF QB. I really hope they're not rolling the dice with that kid's knee. If he gets hit and hurts it, that's not gonna be a good look.
Good news is we may be getting some defensive starters back who have been out since the Texas game. They're not 100% and may not even play, but the staff says a couple of them are "available" this week.
