Beckwith out

The biggest news out of Les Miles' Sunday press briefing concerns middle linebacker Darry Beckwith.

“There is an injury of significance to Darry Beckwith, and it’s safe to say he won’t be available this week,'' Miles said. "I think he’ll be back pretty soon, but I don’t know when.”

Beckwith missed time late last season and his absence did have an effect on the LSU defense.

It will be interesting to see how LSU fares on Saturday without him.
