Saturday’s LSU-Alabama game in Baton Rouge has been postponed due to Covid-19 issues within the LSU program. The Tigers do not have any bye weeks to make up the game before the SEC Championship game, but Coach Ed Orgeron hopes the SEC can figure out a way for the rivalry game to be played this year…
“We look forward to the rescheduling of the game against Alabama, we want to play Alabama. It’s a great rivalry for us, they’re a great football team and we want to accept that challenge.”
For the time being LSU will turn its attention to Arkansas, who they are scheduled to play next Saturday. Orgeron says that LSU should get a lot of their players back next week and could be ready to play the Razorbacks.
“From what I’m told our quarantined guys will be back some time next week and we’ll have a lot more players at practice next week than we had this week. I think Tuesday or Wednesday would should have an answer and right now it looks positive.”
One key player that will not return next week is quarterback Myles Brennan, who continues to be sidelined because of an abdominal injury. When asked about Brennan’s status, Orgeron says Brennan may need season-ending surgery…
“We haven’t made a final decision but it doesn’t look like he’s going to be back unless some miraculous thing happens.”
