BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Even as interim LSU coach Frank Wilson called his promotion "something you would dream of,” he eschewed the opportunity discuss his prospects for retaining the job beyond the rest of this season.

“I can’t,” Wilson said Tuesday following the Tigers' first full padded practice since Brian Kelly's firing on Sunday , the day after a 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M .

“We have to live in this moment to allow us to take care of our business right now," Wilson continued. "To do anything besides that is a mistake.”

LSU (5-3, 2-3 SEC), which has lost three of four games, is idle this week and next plays at No. 4 Alabama (7-1, 5-0) on Nov. 8 — quite the debut for Wilson, a New Orleans native who has a long history with the program he now leads.
