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

Sometimes the biggest offseason win doesn't happen in the transfer portal. Sometimes it's getting your quarterback back. After months of rehab and questions surrounding his recovery from a Lisfranc foot injury, LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has officially been cleared and is back practicing at full speed. For a team with national championship aspirations, that's about as good of news as Lane Kiffin could have asked for. Leavitt arrived in Baton Rouge as the nation's top transfe

Geaux Tigers... Coach O is coming home. LSU officially announced Wednesday night that Ed Orgeron is returning to Baton Rouge, joining Lane Kiffin's first coaching staff as the Tigers' Special Assistant to Recruiting and Defense. It's a move that immediately injects experience, Louisiana roots, and one of college football's most recognizable personalities back into the program. For LSU fans, it's also a reunion years in the making. Orgeron will once again wear the purple and g

If there were any questions about what Lane Kiffin planned to do once he arrived in Baton Rouge... You can officially put those to rest. LSU has finished the 2026 transfer portal cycle with the No. 1 transfer portal class in the nation, and it isn't because the Tigers added one or two star players. It's because Kiffin completely reshaped the roster in a matter of weeks. That's what elite coaches do in today's version of college football. They don't wait three years for recrui

HOUSTON — And just like that… it’s over. LSU Tigers football closed out the 2025 season with a 38–35 loss to Houston Cougars football in the Texas Bowl, finishing the year 7–6. And if there’s one way to describe this one? It felt like the season… in one game. Flashes. Big plays. Momentum swings. And just enough missed moments to let it slip. Because LSU didn’t come out slow—they came out flying. On the opening kickoff, Barion Brown took it 99 yards to the house, instantly set

The drama surrounding Lane Kiffin's departure from Ole Miss just took another turn—and this time, it's his former players doing the talking. After accepting the LSU head coaching job, Kiffin released a statement saying he wanted to remain on the sidelines to coach Ole Miss through its College Football Playoff run. According to Kiffin, Athletic Director Keith Carter denied that request despite the players allegedly asking for him to stay. It didn't take long for that version o

It's official. After weeks of speculation, Lane Kiffin has announced that he's leaving Ole Miss to become the next head coach at LSU, ending a six-year run in Oxford that transformed the Rebels into a consistent SEC contender. Kiffin made the announcement Sunday afternoon in a statement posted to social media, calling the decision "difficult" after spending time in prayer and discussing the opportunity with his family. But it wasn't just a farewell message. Kiffin also reveal

BATON ROUGE — This one wasn’t pretty. But it was a win. And at this point in the season, that still counts. LSU Tigers football closed out its final home game of the year with a 13–10 win over Western Kentucky Hilltoppers football. And if you watched it all the way through, you know exactly what kind of night it was. Defense carrying. Offense searching. Game hanging in the balance longer than it should. From the start, LSU never really found rhythm offensively. Western Kentuc

BATON ROUGE — This one didn’t fix everything. But it mattered. A lot. LSU Tigers football found a way Saturday night, taking down Arkansas Razorbacks football 23–22 in a game that felt like it could’ve gone either way… and probably shouldn’t have been that close in the first place. But that’s been the theme. And this time, LSU finished. Coming into this one, the questions were everywhere—offense, consistency, direction, everything that’s followed this team over the last few w

TUSCALOOSA — This one’s frustrating… because the defense gave LSU every chance to win it. And the offense just couldn’t meet them there. LSU Tigers football went into Tuscaloosa and fell to Alabama Crimson Tide football 20–9, dropping to 5–4 on the season. And for a game that stayed within reach for so long, it never really felt like LSU could grab control of it. Not because they weren’t fighting. Because they kept getting in their own way. From the start, LSU’s defense showe

BATON ROUGE — This one got away… and then it got out of hand. LSU Tigers football came into Saturday night needing a response. Instead, they ran into a Texas A&M Aggies football team that took control in the second half and never gave it back, handing LSU a 49–25 loss in Death Valley. And this wasn’t one moment. It wasn’t one mistake. It was a game that flipped—and then snowballed. Early on, it actually felt like LSU might have found something. After giving up a quick score t

NASHVILLE — This one felt like LSU was chasing from the start… and never quite caught up. LSU Tigers football went on the road and dropped one to Vanderbilt Commodores football 31–24, falling to 5–2 on the season. And this wasn’t a fluky loss or a last-second breakdown—this was a game Vanderbilt controlled. Plain and simple. From the first quarter on, it was clear what kind of game this was going to be. LSU came out with some tempo, moved the ball early, and got on the board
