Aranda has Devin White coming on some delayed blitzes and, wooo boy, he's fast.

Saw that from Duke Riley last year. #LSU

It's been a while since an #LSU quarterback had this kind of line in a game against a Power 5 team.

From @RabalaisAdv: Missing 13 players, #LSU avoids 'disaster' vs. #BYU in win even Les Miles would've loved

http://bit.ly/2iRWkDm

Thirteen players were missing from the Tigers' traveling party Saturday for the transplanted Advocare Texas Kickoff. It wasn't certain that all those players were suspended, but LSU brought some players who were injured and unable to play, like linebackers Arden Key and Andre Anthony, so draw your own conclusions. Kevin Toliver and Donnie Alexander, certain starters at cornerback and inside linebacker, respectively, were among the uninvited.

LSU faced the prospect of starting as many as five true or redshirt freshmen on defense. The Tigers ended up starting four: linebackers K'Lavon Chaisson and Tyler Taylor, free safety Grant Delpit and cornerback Greedy Williams. Nickel back Kary Vincent Jr. could have been a fifth.

The Tigers faced the serious prospect of being victimized by a crafty quarterback like BYU junior Tanner Mangum. What's the old saying, that every freshman you're forced to start equals a loss? It doesn't quite mean the same thing these days, when many coaches feel compelled to start or play talented freshman right away for fear they'll leave for the NFL after three years. But it's still a bad way to fly.

Turns out, it was Mangum, Squally Canada (love that name) and the rest of the Cougars offense that found the going tough.

Guess which team never crossed the 50? Guess which team didn't even crack the 100-yard total offense barrier? It wasn't LSU.

Mike VII, LSU's new mascot, would have been proud of the way his fellow newbies responded.

#LSU goes TE-G-C-G-T-T on the line. If the top WR is not on the line, Malone, playing RT, is an eligible receiver.
