LSU sophomore Austin Deculus will start at right tackle Saturday (Sept. 15) against No. 7 Auburn, Ed Orgeron announced Thursday.
He beats out Badara Traore, who struggled in his first start last week against Southeastern Louisiana. Traore had the start after Adrian Magee went out for 2-3 weeks with a knee injury.
"(Deculus) had a good week, but Badara is going to play," Orgeron said. "They've done some good work, still got some work to do. It's going to be a challenge for our whole offensive line."
Deculus lost out in the right tackle competition during camp between him, Traore and Magee.
