Jay Johnson said he won't announce LSU's starter until 90 minutes prior to game time. I suspect Mitch Canham won't either. Each coach has several options at his disposal.
I haven't got a clue but if I had to guess, I wonder if we might not see Thatcher Hurd. I'm not certain when he last pitched or even if he's healthy but he slammed the door on us last year in the UCLA series played in Corvallis. I'm sure Johnson is aware of that. Hurd is 6-4, 215, throws 96 with filthy secondaries.
My guess for the Beavs would be Lattery. I suspect Canham/Dorman might want to keep Benny Ferrer on the back burner for some late inning heroics should that possibility happen. I doubt they would want to start a freshman in this pressure cooker environment (pitch them, yes - start them, no).
Johnson has someone he's confident in to face OSU - he threw his 6-6, 247 pound gas can today against 19-40 Tulane.

Worth considering hitting them with our three lefties. Sounds wild but LSU really struggles against decent lefties. Also be fine with him as a reliever.
Hjerpe would eat that team alive with a smile.

Hurd was warming up in the 7th and 8th, who knows but suggests to me that we'll see Ty Floyd

Agree also that my expectation is Lattery but stand by my suggestion of Keljo

I heard Ben during the pregame. That’s what Forrester said in his pregame interview with Mike. I expect Ferrer as well. Hoping he can give us 5 strong and let our bats build a lead. |

Floyd vs Ferrer will be the starting pitching tomorrow night.

By pitching only Skenes against Tulane, Johnson kept his "thin" pitching corps rested for the Beavers. Pitching depth is the Tiger's Achilles Heel, and PC Wes Johnson now has his full compliment available for the "scoring machine" he'll face on Saturday night.

Floyd vs Ferrer will be the starting pitching tomorrow night. I think you're correct. Floyd has been pretty consistently good this season. The only minor glitch I can see in his record is that his WHIP his first 10 appearances in 2023 was 1.04, and in the most recent 5 games (beginning 4/29 v. Alabama) his WHIP is 1.27. He doesn't make many mistakes. |

Hopefully Floyd’s front heel touches down before his toe. See what I learned on Benny’s House? 😄👍🏼

He doesn't make many mistakes. Floyd has a good fastball, it gets on you quick. 93 to 97. I'll have to find more video on this guy. I'm watching his start against Arkansas on YouTube, he's having trouble locating his change, but it's only the first inning. |

We need to lay off Floyd's breaking stuff & hunt fastballs all night long. |
