Brian Kelly Reveals Plan At Left Guard If Paul Mubenga Can't Play vs. South Carolina

LSU offensive guard Paul Mubenga is listed as doubtful for the South Carolina game on Saturday after suffering a high ankle injury vs. Ole Miss two weeks ago.

With Mubenga likely out vs. the Gamecocks, head coach Brian Kelly said that redshirt freshman Coen Echols and true freshman Carius Curne are the backup options.

"Well right now, Coen Echols has taken most of the reps there when Paul hasn't been in," Kelly said. "We have a lot of confidence in him. Carius Curne is repping there as well. We'll kind of see how that goes.:

"If Paul can't go, and he's doubtful at this point, that will be the two-man rotation. And if we think Coen is handling it, we'll see how that goes Saturday, but we have repped them both and they are both ready to play."
