Multiple LSU starters out for Saturday's game at South Carolina in Week 3

LSU will begin SEC play on Saturday in Columbia against South Carolina, and it will be a bit shorthanded.

According to the Tigers’ pregame availability report, starting receiver Chris Hilton Jr. and starting safety Jordan Allen are out for Saturday’s game. For Hilton, it will mark his third straight missed game to begin the season.

Kyle Parker wasn’t listed on the availability report and will likely make the start in Hilton’s place after missing last week’s game. Without Allen, the Tigers will likely turn to Sage Ryan, who moved back to safety this week, to fill in.

Edge rusher Da'Shawn Womack is also out, while Zy Alexander was listed as probable and West Weeks remains questionable.

LSU begins SEC play against the Gamecocks on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT.
