LSU has adjusted its depth chart following a loss to USC, with true freshman Dashawn Spears and redshirt freshman Kylin Jackson set to start at safety. Injuries will impact the Tigers, who will be without key players including wide receivers Chris Hilton Jr. and Kyle Parker, as well as starting left guard Garrett Dellinger. Notre Dame football has opted to maintain its starting lineup despite a disappointing loss, with Riley Leonard continuing as quarterback for their upcoming game against Purdue. In the SEC, South Carolina is preparing to host LSU, with the Tigers favored by 7.5 points despite concerns about their defensive performance. Both LSU and Notre Dame are looking for a bounce-back performance as the college football season progresses.
