Ed Orgeron's Tigers are looking to rebound from a 44-34 home defeat to Mississippi State in the 2020 season opener. That must start with an improved effort on defense, after LSU surrendered 632 total yards and 623 passing yards to the Bulldogs.

The good news is LSU's secondary looks to be healthier in week two. Head coach Ed Orgeron said Thursday that Consensus All-American Derek Stingley Jr. should return to the defensive backfield after missing the season opener. In 2019, Stingley became just the fourth true freshman in college football history to earn Consensus All-American honors, intercepting six passes and defending 21.

"We believe in Derek," Orgeron said this week. "Derek's one of our best players, one of our best corners in the country — especially when you're playing a lot of man coverage like we are. Obviously he's a force and he's a difference." Read more.
