It’s Ed Orgeron’s first full year in charge in Baton Rouge – and it could turn sour fast if a handful of key players go down with injuries.
Gridiron Now takes a look at 10 players the Tigers don’t want to think about losing in 2017.
10. P Josh Growden
The particulars: 6 feet 2, 198 pounds, sophomore
Why he’s here: Growden was the only player to punt the football for LSU in 2016. Still, special teams was an up-and-down endeavor a year ago, causing Orgeron to fire coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto the day after he was named full-time coach.
