Where does LSU rank in the coaches poll after defeating Chattanooga?

When asked to name LSU's sack leader after two games, most fans probably wouldn't have gotten the answer correct.

Arden Key, who led the Tigers with 12 sacks last season, has missed both games with a shoulder injury, which has allowed freshmen K'Lavon Chaisson and Ray Thornton to play the bench linebacker position.

But to look for LSU's sack leader, you need to look on the other side of the linebacking group at the field linebacker spot - where Corey Thompson and his 3.5 sacks reside.

Thompson, a sixth-year senior playing outside linebacker for the first time, picked up two sacks against BYU and followed that up with another sack and a half in LSU's 45-10 win over Chattanooga on Saturday night.
