- Pick/market: LSU having significant room for growth after a 51-10 win over an ACC opponent sets the stage for a special season...

- Pick/market: Just an unbelievable first half from the LSU Tigers...

- Pick/market: Ty Benefield makes his presence known on the first drive of the game.

- LSU gained 644 yards against Clemson in the 51-10 opener, with 309 rushing and 335 passing. Sam Leavitt completed 16 of 28 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown and ran 12 times for 113 yards and two scores. Winston Watkins Jr. added seven catches for 110 yards and a touchdown; these are opening-game production figures, not Louisiana Tech projections. - LSU RB Dilin Jones rushed 23 times for 113 yards and two touchdowns against Clemson. Lane Kiffin said that performance matched what Jones showed in camp and emphasized evaluation by observed play rather than prior reputation. The comment supports Jones' camp-to-game progression, without promising a fixed future workload. - LSU held Clemson to 145 total yards. Jordan Ross had a sack and a 30-yard interception-return touchdown, while Princewill Umanmielen recorded six tackles, 1.5 sacks and a quarterback hurry. Whit Weeks added six tackles and a hurry; the report provides concrete front-seven production rather than only a general defensive endorsement. - Ahead of LSU-Louisiana Tech, Lane Kiffin described Tech's defense as unusual enough to require changes to offensive rules and preparation. He also praised its coaching and all-phase play in the opener. The report does not identify a specific front or coverage package, so the required adjustments remain unspecified. - Louisiana Tech enters the LSU game after an 80-6 win over Northwestern State. QB Blake Baker threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and Jalen Mickens gained 133 receiving yards on three catches with a touchdown. Those figures identify an early explosive passing threat for LSU to prepare for, but come from one opponent and do not establish expected output against LSU.

- Injury: “Haven’t played a game yet, so we’ll see.” -LSU’s Sam Leavitt when asked Tuesday if he was “that kind of running QB again” after foot surgery.

- Intel: There's a 90-minute timer that starts once the players roll out for warmups.

- Intel: Pour one out for me and Andre tonight !

- Pick/market: Sam Leavitt airs it out for Winston Watkins Jr.

- LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt completed 16 of 28 passes for 230 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Clemson while leading the Tigers with 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. - LSU coach Lane Kiffin identified Leavitt's ability to extend plays outside the pocket when protection or receiving routes break down as a strength demonstrated against Clemson, without providing a quantified off-schedule efficiency measure. Comment: Tbf it’s usually transfer

- Pick/market: Ross not earning SEC Defensive Player of the Week is wild ...

- QB: Pretty cool to an LSU QB step up in the pocket after feeling some pressure there.

- QB/RB: Tonight's announced starters: Defense: EDGE Princewill Umanmielen DT Dominick McKinley DT Deuce Geralds EDGE Dylan Carpenter S Dashawn Spears S Tamarcus Cooley S Ty Benefield CB DJ Pickett CB PJ Woodland LB TJ Dottery...

- LSU left tackle Jordan Seaton allowed no pressures in his 2026 debut against Clemson, and the offensive line allowed no sacks in the 51-10 win. The protection result accompanied 644 yards of offense, providing a strong opening-game performance without establishing how the line will fare against later opponents. - Lane Kiffin still wants more consistent guard play after the Clemson win, while Seaton identifies technique, detail and operating faster as areas for LSU's offense to improve. Neither statement announces a personnel change; the outstanding team result did not erase the staff's interior-line concerns. - Seaton credits Eric Wolford and James Cregg's walkthroughs and film preparation with exposing LSU's line to varied defensive looks before the 2026 opener. He describes it as his best preparation to date, an attributed player assessment of coaching and recognition rather than a measured improvement in blocking efficiency.

- WR: LSU WR Winston Watkins’ family member is former Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins.

- Offense: Phillip Wright stock is soaring as well...

- RB/LB: My Game 1 bold prediction from earlier this week: LSU will have a 100+ yard rusher.

- Intel: Andre said the exact same thing when we were on the phone earlier lol.

- Intel: when they did target him, he wasn't pressing so I'm going to just take it with a grain of salt.

- Intel: Kiffin got on the band's a** for playing while they were about to snap it.

- Intel: A little more insight into what we're keeping tabs on this week: Dates, notes, etc.

- The report says LSU filled its 105-player roster by adding Aidan Anding and Gabriel Reliford, ending the program's pursuit of Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris rather than keeping roster places open for their possible addition. - Cornerback Aidan Anding was added to LSU's roster after previously being omitted because of a spring Achilles tear, but the article says he is still rehabilitating and supplies no return date or clearance to play. - Defensive end Gabriel Reliford also received a roster spot while rehabilitating a spring ACL tear, so his roster inclusion should not be read as evidence that LSU has regained an available pass-rush option.

- Intel: Great reflection here from Kiffin about the environment Monday.

- Intel: Lane Kiffin: “When LSU football wins and wins with style, the state really feels it.” #LSU

- Intel: New: On The @BengalTigerOn3 , we debated plenty of things this offseason...

- Intel: Agreed - At some point it's time to let Longstreet get these reps.

- Intel: Skip and Jerry receive moment of silence from 102,321 at Tiger Stadium before LSU-Clemson kickoff.
