LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels didn’t finish the game at Auburn after suffering a knee bruise but he is expected to be ready for Saturday morning. Tennessee receiver Cedric Tillman is less than two weeks removed from “tightrope” surgery to try and speed up the healing process of a high ankle sprain. He’s questionable for Saturday.
Saturday’s game started at noon eastern/11am cst. It’s the first time Tennessee has played in Baton Rouge since 2010 when the Vols lost 16-14 thanks to having too many men on the field on the final play of regulation. The Vols last three trips to Tiger Stadium have been decided by a total of 12 points including two overtime games.
