Badara Traore vying for playing time: What Ed Orgeron said at his weekly radio show

Ed Orgeron spoke after LSU's first scrimmage Aug. 11 about how needed to see more from his offensive line.

Wednesday (Aug. 22), Orgeron seemed more confident in it. At his weekly radio show at TJ Ribs, Orgeron said junior college transfer Badara Traore could compete for playing time at either tackle splot.

"Traore is coming along," he said. "He might spell in for Saahdiq Charles. He and Austin Magee are vying for time, along with Austin Deculus."

Traore took first team reps at right tackle in practice Wednesday.

He then went on to say center Lloyd Cushenberry is having an "outstanding" camp and stated confidently he's the starting center.
