There were few in attendance for LSU's second preseason game on Friday – parents and staff, mostly – but judging by the roar they produced on one particular play, you'd have thought it was Saturday night in Death Valley.
A diving catch over the middle of the field, tightly contested by a defender but caught by LSU's freshman tight end, elicited a collective gasp of awe from those gathered. What they glimpsed in one play is what the world, once the Tigers kick off in less than two weeks, will soon see, too. The roar they let out will soon echo far outside Tiger Stadium.
