On the SEC Coaches' Teleconference Wednesday morning (Sept. 19), LSU coach Ed Orgeron says he expects outside linebacker Ray Thornton and tight end Thaddeus Moss to be able to play on Saturday against Louisiana Tech.
Thornton was injured on the first play of the Auburn game on the kickoff return and did not return to the game.
Orgeron said Thornton "got hit pretty good" on the kickoff but after Thornton practiced in a gold non-contact jersey on Saturday, he should be good.
"I think he's going to play," Orgeron said.
Moss is in line to make not only his season debut but his first appearance in an LSU uniform.
