The LSU football team’s schedule for 2010 is still a little unclear.LSU coach Les Miles said the Tigers will play North Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game next season, according to a report by The Advocate.But sports information director Michael Bonnette told The Daily Reveille in an e-mail late Wednesday that no official announcement has been made.”We haven’t made any official announcement about our season opener next year,” Bonnette said in the e-mail. “We hope to announce something by the end of the week.”Miles said competition still remains at some spots in the lineup as LSU’s Southeastern Conference opener against Vanderbilt on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium draws near.”There’s less competition as we get into the season, but I’d have to say in the secondary there’s still competition going on,” Miles said. “I don’t see it happening at many positions. It appears to me to pretty fine with a couple of exceptions.”One of the spots Miles cited was strong safety. Senior Danny McCray and sophomore Brandon Taylor both played the position against Washington.”Brandon Taylor missed some time that cost him some preparation,” Miles said. “But Taylor may get the nod.”The LSU defense allowed 478 total yards to Washington to open the season. The Vanderbilt running game racked up close to that number in its season opener with 433 total rushing yards, behind the 100-plus-yard efforts of true freshmen Zac Stacy and Warren Norman.”They’re both very dangerous runners,” Miles said. “They do a great job by scheme, giving them the ball where you can hardly gang up on them. You have to be able to defeat a block and make a tackle on these guys.”Miles said the 2009 Vanderbilt team displays distinct differences from the Commodores squad Miles faced in 2005, his first season at LSU.”They’re much better,” Miles said. “They had a pocket passer then in Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler who is still playing in the NFL. They have some   differences in their personnel, and they run a no-huddle [offense].”LSU sophomore quarterback Jordan Jefferson had a career night against Washington in his third start for the Tigers. Miles said Jefferson has not shown any extra nerves in the week before the team’s first SEC contest.”I don’t see him getting real excited,” Miles said. “He wants to make great plays. I feel his emotion more when something doesn’t work right. He expects more of himself.”In the week’s preparation for kickoff against Vanderbilt, Miles said no players experienced any flu-like symptoms with the prevalence of the H1N1 virus on the LSU campus.”There were a couple of guys the week before we played the opener at Washington [who were sick],” Miles said. “But this has been a flu-free week.”—-Contact Rachel Whittaker at [email protected]
