RB Harlem Berry (56 yards vs. Louisiana Tech) and RB Caden Durham (103 yards, 2 TDs) available.

Key Player Matchups
QB Carson Camp / Kyle Lowe (SELA) vs. LSU Secondary
SELA’s QBs have been efficient against FCS defenses, but LSU’s speed and depth in the secondary will be a massive step up.
WR Jaylon Domingeaux (SELA) vs. LSU Corners
Domingeaux is coming off a 3-TD game; LSU’s corners will look to erase him early.
QB Garrett Nussmeier (LSU) vs. SELA Pass Rush
Nussmeier has been steady but turnover-prone; SELA must pressure him to have any chance.
RB Harlem Berry (LSU) vs. SELA Front Seven
Berry’s explosiveness could break the game open if SELA can’t contain the run.
