LSU cornerback out

Dwayne Thomas has a torn ACL.  His backups are freshmen. 

May well be a more important to us then them starting a freshman QB.

An LSU defense that has had its fair share of trouble against the run this season is facing some injury issues heading into this week's trip to Auburn for an SEC showdown.

Defensive back Dwayne Thomas, who injured his right knee against New Mexico State, is is out for the season with a torn ACL, according to the Baton Rouge Advocate.

LSU coach Les Miles didn't reveal the extent of Thomas' injury during Monday's press conference.

"Dwayne Thomas is being looked at right now," Miles said.

Thomas had been a productive nickel back for LSU so far. In that role, the sophomore had 24 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, an interception, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery so far.

The severity of Thomas' injury is unknown, but the player tweeted a picture with a message for the fans on Monday that depicted him on crutches.

We better take advantage of this. Whichever is on him - Sammie or Duke. Put JJ in from time to time if needed to exploit this shit.

I'm thinking you go to the other side, as Chavis will likely roll support over to help the youngster.  You'll probably get a more favorable match-up (numbers wise, anyway) on the other side of the field.

Or you run the read-option away from the frosh, assuming that LB/S support will be leaning his way.

Yes...whoever it is in one on one, get it to them. But either way, I would use JJ early. Exploit that shit, get up early and demoralize those little bastards.

This Chavis fellow that is the D.C. for LSU. Do we even know that he has a green card? I think someone should check into that before Saturday.
