LSU Tigers

SEC program. Lane Kiffin new HC for 2026 (came over from Ole Miss). 2025 was hellish per Nate Tice — no talent around Garrett Nussmeier; he had to make every throw perfect. Glue back: Blake Baker (DC), Whit Weeks, Trey'Dez Green. Big 2026 question: Sam Leavitt's foot.

Current Show Posture

As of 2026-09-20:

LSU opened with the sort of line-of-scrimmage dominance against Clemson that made the hosts take its ceiling seriously. The 32–24 loss at Ole Miss complicated that read without erasing it: the roster is young, and the show sees defensive strength and room to mature alongside a need for cleaner offense against strong SEC opponents.
