LSU’s defense is going to get help this weekend.
Bernard Gooden and Jimari Butler have practiced and should be available against Texas A&M on Saturday night according to head coach Brian Kelly. The official availability report lists both as “Probable”.
Gooden started five of LSU’s first six games. Butler adds experienced depth on the defensive front.
Whit Weeks has not practiced this week. He’s “Doubtful”. If Weeks is not able to play, Davhon Keys and Tylen Singleton will be called upon.
Tyree Adams and Gabriel Reliford will not play.
The Tigers and Aggies will kick off shortly after 6:45 Saturday night in Death Valley.
