Defensive dominos for the Cocks. DT Pepper is out of Saturday's contest with a knee sprain. He started all three games for the Cocks this season, and has 15 career starts. He isn't the most productive tackler the Cocks have, with only 5 stops in three games, but his 291 lbs is being replaced with a talented but much smaller C. Brinkley (255lbs) who has been playing outside LB. Brinkley is being replaced by freshman Cliff Matthews. So, a smaller, less experienced defensive front will face our offensive line, and that's not a bad thing. (Source: SC's LSU Game Notes)
