LSU evaluates four true freshmen during upcoming game against Louisiana Tech
Summary

LSU hosts Louisiana Tech on Saturday night in a non-conference matchup following a 51-10 victory over Clemson in Week 1. Given the expectation that the Tigers will enter the game as heavy favorites, coaching staff may look to provide extended playing time to several true freshmen in the second half. Among those slated for evaluation are defensive linemen Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson, both of whom featured in the season opener. Wide receiver Corey Barber and offensive tackle Brysten Martinez are also expected to see action should LSU build an early lead. Developing depth remains a primary focus for the team as it prepares for the rigors of the upcoming SEC schedule. The coaching staff seeks to identify younger players capable of contributing to the rotation throughout the extended season.
