Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor, who was a top Heisman Trophy contender before injuring his leg prior to a loss against Alabama two weeks ago, is questionable to play against LSU on Saturday.
Taylor, whose status was updated on the SEC availability report Wednesday evening, originally injured his leg in a win over Missouri. He played through visible pain against Alabama and had to leave the game in the fourth quarter.
The sophomore from Macon, Mississippi, has thrown for 1,450 yards 17 touchdowns and four interceptions. He's second on the team in rushing with 159 yards and one touchdown.
Leading rusher Fluff Bothwell, who was second in the SEC in rushing at the time of his injury earlier this month, is also listed as questionable. He has rushed for 403 yards and three touchdowns this season.
Mississippi State (4-1) was off last week.
LSU is looking to bounce back from an overtime loss to Kentucky last Saturday that dropped the Tigers to 4-2 and No. 22 in the Associated Press poll.
