Radio: LSU Sports Radio Network
History: LSU is 3-0 against Wisconsin, with the Tigers defeating the Badgers 28-24 in 2014, at NRG Stadium, in Houston.
Things to watch for:
New starters on the offensive line: Junior left tackle K.J. Malone, sophomore right tackle Toby Weathersby and senior right guard Josh Boutte are new starters on the offensive line. Malone beat out sophomore offensive lineman Maea Teuhema, who began spring camp as the starter at left tackle amid nursing a sprained ankle, which hindered him for the first week of practice. Sophomore offensive guard Will Clapp also showed up to the Lambeau with a boot on his right ankle, but his injury isn’t believed to be serious, a source told Christian Boutwell of The Daily Reveille.
Freshman on defense: When LSU was revealed its depth chart on Monday, freshman linebacker Michael Divinity was listed as a starter at outside linebacker. Divinity isn’t the only freshman expected to play.
According to a report by the Advocate, junior defensive end Frank Herron didn’t make the flight to Green Bay due to suspension. With his absence, freshman defensive lineman Rashard Lawrence’s role increases on the defensive line.
Coaches roaming the field: LSU coach Les Miles said everyone of his assistant coaches will be on the field this season. Whether what difference that makes remains to be seen. But with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron on the sidelines for LSU’s 56-27 Texas Bowl win, the Tigers racked up 638 total yards of offense.
