BATON ROUGE, La. — Everyone knew LSU was supposed to win this game. The more interesting question was what the Tigers could learn from it. Turns out, quite a bit. No. 11 LSU overwhelmed McNeese 63-14 Saturday night inside Tiger Stadium, piling up 731 yards of offense and scoring nine touchdowns in a game that was essentially decided before halftime. But somewhere between the touchdowns, the backups entering the game and the unfamiliar numbers appearing all over the field, Sat

One week ago, LSU left Oxford with questions. One week ago, LSU left Oxford with questions.Saturday night, the Tigers answered them. Loudly. Coming off its first loss of the Lane Kiffin era, No. 10 LSU returned to Death Valley and delivered perhaps its most complete performance of the season, dismantling No. 23 Texas A&M 35-6. No dramatic comeback. No fourth-quarter survival. No excuses needed. Just LSU football. The Tigers controlled the game, suffocated an Aggie offense tha

OXFORD, Miss. — Lane Kiffin knew what was waiting for him. The boos. The signs. The chants. An Oxford crowd that had spent nearly 10 months waiting for the opportunity to welcome its former coach back to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. What Kiffin probably didn't plan for was leaving without a win. No. 7 LSU erased a 17-point halftime deficit and had an opportunity to complete the comeback in the final minutes Saturday night, but No. 8 Ole Miss made the plays when it mattered most,

OXFORD, Miss. — There are road games.There are rivalry games. And then there is whatever Saturday night is about to be. Lane Kiffin is going back to Oxford. Not for a ceremony. Not for a reunion. And certainly not for a warm welcome. Ten months after leaving Ole Miss for Baton Rouge, Kiffin will walk into Vaught-Hemingway Stadium wearing purple and gold and stand on the opposite sideline from the program he spent six seasons building into a national contender. Waiting for him

BATON ROUGE, La. — A week ago, LSU could seemingly do no wrong. Saturday night, the Tigers learned what happens when almost everything does. Four turnovers. Ten penalties. Three interceptions from quarterback Sam Leavitt. Red-zone opportunities that repeatedly ended without touchdowns. And somehow, when the clock hit zero inside Tiger Stadium, the scoreboard still read: LSU 45. Louisiana Tech 14. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't the 51-10 demolition of Clemson that introduced the

BATON ROUGE, La. — They talked about the coach. They talked about the controversy. They talked about the players LSU wanted to bring in, the players the SEC didn't want them to have, the courtrooms, the rules, the warnings and seemingly everything surrounding LSU football except the football itself. By Saturday night, there wasn't much left to talk about. LSU 51. Clemson 10. In Lane Kiffin's first game as head coach of the LSU Tigers, Death Valley witnessed something much big

Saturday night, Allen was on the field at Tiger Stadium for the first time as an LSU Tiger. He warmed up under those lights, caught passes on the sideline, and stood in the purple and gold while 100,000 people made the noise Death Valley is known for. Nobody gets to that sideline by accident. Allen ca

By Robby Lafleur College football has spent the last several years embracing change. Unlimited transfers. NIL. Immediate eligibility. Court injunctions. Waivers. The rulebook that once defined the sport has become more fluid than ever, and nearly every major program has adapted in whatever way gives it the best chance to win. So why is LSU suddenly the villain? Lane Kiffin and the Tigers have found themselves at the center of a national debate after pursuing players who brief

Every new era has a beginning. For Southern University, that beginning came Saturday afternoon at historic Legion Field, where Marshall Faulk made his head coaching debut in the inaugural Birmingham Football Classic. The final score wasn't what Jaguar Nation hoped for. Alabama State spoiled Faulk's debut with a 30-17 victory, capitalizing on big plays and taking control in the second half. While the loss stings, Southern leaves Birmingham with more than just another mark in t

At most schools, jersey numbers are just numbers. LSU, two of them carry the weight of history. Every fall, one question echoes throughout Tiger Nation long before kickoff: Who will wear No. 7? Who earned No. 18? These aren't decisions made because of seniority or popularity. They're earned through leadership, production, character, and the respect of teammates and coaches. When those jerseys are handed out, they represent something far greater than a number stitched across

For the first time in decades, Southern University football enters a season led by one of the greatest players to ever wear shoulder pads. On Saturday afternoon, Marshall Faulk won't be carrying the football. He'll be carrying the expectations of an entire program. The Pro Football Hall of Famer makes his highly anticipated head coaching debut as Southern opens the 2026 season against Alabama State in the inaugural Birmingham Football Classic at historic Legion Field. Kickoff

You couldn't ask for a bigger stage. ABC. Prime time. Tiger Stadium. Two powerhouse programs. One of the loudest environments in college football. Welcome to the Lane Kiffin era. When LSU runs through the tunnel on September 5, it won't just be the start of another football season. It'll be the first opportunity for Kiffin to show the college football world exactly what this new-look Tigers program is capable of against a Clemson team that's desperate to prove it still belong
