NEW ORLEANS — LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will miss the rest of the season with a leg injury according to Ed Orgeron.
The sophomore was injured in the fourth quarter of LSU's 42-21 loss to Kentucky.
Orgeron first said Monday that Boutte wouldn't play against Florida and later confirmed he would be out for the rest of the season.

His nine touchdowns are tied for the NCAA lead.
