Can LSU Still Make a College Football Playoff Run With This Many Injuries?
Four games into the season, LSU has already lost Dashawn Spears, Phillip Wright III and Charles Ross for the season. Whit Weeks is now out indefinitely with a fractured leg, while Trey’Dez Green continues recovering from the knee injury he suffered at Ole Miss. Kiffin acknowledged Sunday that LSU’s roster was not constructed with enough depth to easily absorb this many high-level injuries. LSU is 3-1 with seven SEC games remaining. The Washington Post
TigerHype Staff take: The Texas A&M performance arguably makes this question more interesting, not less. LSU looked like a playoff-caliber team Saturday — but the roster is being tested much earlier than anyone expected. At some point, “next man up” stops being a slogan and becomes a real talent-and-depth question.
Which injured player would be the hardest for LSU to survive without over the next two months: Whit Weeks, Trey’Dez Green or Dashawn Spears?
