The LSU football team returns home to face Mississippi State in a crucial game Saturday at Tiger Stadium. It's a must-win if the Tigers want to remain in any semblance of the College Football Playoff hunt, and LSU might be catching a break, as it appears Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor will either miss the game with a toe injury or be limited in the game. As for LSU, they'll need to put a frustrating loss at Kentucky behind them and focus on the stretch run, with the help of ... a pink visiting locker room? We'll explain (and also give our keys to the game and predictions). #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #hailstate #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball

The LSU football team travels to take on the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday night in Lexington. It's been a mostly impressive start to the season for the Tigers, but they don't yet have a road win on the résumé. How can they accomplish that this weekend and run their record to 5-1? Our LSU Insiders are here to break the game down, with a look at Kentucky's pass rush and third-down conversion rate. Finally, we'll offer our keys to the game and predictions as well as a quick glance around the SEC this weekend. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #kentucky #kentuckywildcats #bigblue #secfootball #ncaafootball #collegefootball

The LSU football team faces McNeese State on Saturday in a game the Tigers should win easily. What does that mean for the status of quarterback Sam Leavitt, who is nursing a minor hamstring injury, and other LSU starters? Our LSU Insiders are here to discuss LSU's approach to the game, what we'd like to see from younger players and reserves and how it can set the Tigers up for a three-game run against SEC opponents through the rest of October. We also offer our predictions for the game against the Cowboys. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #mcneese #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin

The LSU Tigers welcome the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend in a game that is no longer a battle of top-10 teams, but instead top-25 teams each coming off of a frustrating loss. Our LSU Insiders break down who has the edge when each team has the ball, which mercurial quarterback — Sam Leavitt or Marcel Reed — can avoid mistakes and why this year's Blake Baker defense may finally be able to break its A&M jinx. Finally, we make our picks for what might just be a College Football Playoff elimination game. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #texasaggies #texasam #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin

The Lane Kiffin Armageddon Showdown Extravaganza™ has finally arrived, as Kiffin and his LSU Tigers are set to face the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday night in Oxford, Miss. Kiffin's return to the school he left before the College Football Playoff last season is storyline enough, but we've also got two top-10 teams sporting 2-0 records and harboring early national championship hopes. There's also the added storyline of an injury to LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt, who was listed as "doubtful" on Wednesday's injury report. Do we think Leavitt will play? Is this more gamesmanship from Kiffin? We'll discuss it all, plus break down the matchups and offer our score predictions.

LSU has secured a $100 million private investment into a venture tied to money from its broadcast rights. Our LSU Insiders explain the deal, try to make sense of the risk/reward for LSU and why the school chose now to do it. We also discuss the start of training camp for LSU football, which is starting with some quick, light practices, and we wrap things up with some talk about the Tigers' defensive tackle rotation. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #privateequity #nil

LSU football coach Lane Kiffin spoke to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club on Wednesday in his final public appearance of the offseason. It was a light-hearted session, full of gifts for Kiffin and jokes from the head coach for the crowd. But our LSU Insiders found some meaning in the tone that Kiffin struck in regards to expectations for the 2026 season. We discuss that and more in this episode. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #secfootball #ncaafootball

The headline from the first day of SEC Media Days, at least from an LSU perspective, was Tennessee coach Josh Heupel fanning the flames of the Tigers' game in Knoxville late in the season, joking that he hoped his fans would treat Lane Kiffin the same way they did in his previous game there. Our LSU Insiders discuss that and much more from SEC media days, including some underrated games on LSU's schedule, Greg Sankey's comments and changes to LSU's future schedules. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secmediadays #secfootball #sec #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football #lanekiffin
