Lane Kiffin Press Conference (Aug. 24, 2026)
- LSU's place-kicking operation produced multiple long field goals in its latest scrimmage, but Lane Kiffin said the kickoff unit and broader special-teams assignments still require work.
- LSU has not identified a clear No. 1 receiver because the room remains highly competitive and the staff is still determining each player's best alignment and role.
- Ed has returned to LSU and is recovering, with Kiffin expecting him to be present for game week.
- LSU's portal-heavy offense is improving but remains behind because Sam Leavitt missed much of spring, leading Kiffin to expect stronger cohesion and performance as the season progresses.
- LSU will base skill-position rotations on the performance gap between players, using near-even workloads when options are comparable and concentrating touches when an elite hot hand emerges.
