TE update

Tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr. said he expected a healthier pack of tight ends Saturday than in last week’s loss at LSU.

“Yeah, we’re beat up a little bit, but I think we’re coming around,” Lunney said. “I think we’ll be OK by Saturday.”

Sophomore Cheyenne O’Grady did not travel to LSU as he was healing a bruised tailbone, and sophomore Austin Cantrell suffered a bruised knee that knocked him out of the game.

“It was a little bit of a hodgepodge today, but everybody was out there for the most part getting involved,” Lunney said. “So we anticipate by Saturday most of them being able to get in there and play at their normal speed.”

Junior Jeremy Patton and sophomore Will Gragg combined to make seven catches for 91 yards against LSU, and junior Jack Kraus provided a lift in the run game, Lunney said.
