"Twenty-two LSU players weren't available for McNeese State game; Tigers still prevail 34-7"


It was clear LSU would play without some starters when coach Ed Orgeron announced a few predetermined absences at the beginning of the week.

But the sheer number of unavailable players wasn't known until just prior to Saturday night's game with McNeese State in Tiger Stadium.

LSU had at least 22 players without pads on against McNeese, including multiple starters along the offensive line, a star defensive end and two safeties.


Not available for the defense were CB Dwight McGlothern, S Todd Harris Jr., S Jay Ward, DE Ali Gaye, DT Glen Logan, LB Jared Small, LB Josh White, DE Saivion Jones, DE Soni Fonua, DB Matthew Langlois and DB Sage Ryan.


Offensive players not dressed out were RB John Emery Jr., OL Austin Deculus, OL Cam Wire, WR Chris Hilton Jr., RB Tre Bradford, WR Jontre Kirklin, WR Malik Nabers, QB Myles Brennan, Ol Josh Billedeaux, OL Thomas Perry and WR LJ Gilyot.

Orgeron had said last week that LSU would play without Wire, Deculus, Fonua, Kirklin, Gaye, Bradford, Ward and also listed Emery as not likely to play.
