BATON ROUGE — There's been a slight change in Chris Hilton's status for LSU football's matchup with UCLA this weekend. LSU coach Brian Kelly told reporters following the team's practice Thursday that the junior wide receiver is now "probable" to play against the Bruins on Saturday (2:30 p.m., ABC).

Coming off an ugly Big Ten debut last week, UCLA hits the road in SEC Country against No. 16 LSU in college football’s Week 4 action on Saturday. LSU checks in at 2-1 on the year after an opening loss to USC and is coming off a close call after trailing South Carolina by 17 points before mounting a comeback in a 36-33 victory last weekend.

The original deal was signed Jan. 9, 2014 and LSU was to play UCLA in the 2024 season opener on Saturday, Aug. 31 at Tiger Stadium. The game was rescheduled so LSU could play in the Las Vegas Kickoff Classic, a top-25 matchup with USC for which LSU was paid $5 million by ESPN Events.
