LSU travels to face Ole Miss in a battle of unbeatens ranked in college football's top 25 on Saturday, and our LSU Insiders have a full preview of the game, including an injury report, breakdown of LSU's sturdy defense against Ole Miss' explosive offense, whether the Tigers can take advantage of Rebels' weaknesses on the other side, our keys to the game and, of course, picks for Saturday's game. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #
As expected, the LSU Tigers steamrolled Southeastern on Saturday night and quarterback Garrett Nussmeier looked better than he has all season. Is that because he's healthy? Or because the Lions were overmatched? Both? Neither? Our LSU Insiders break it down. Also, the SEC's annual opponents for every team were unveiled Monday morning, and we react to LSU's trio. Also covered in this episode: • Caden Durham's ankle injury and the running back rotation • What's up with the targeting calls? • The right tackle situation #lsutigers #lsu #geauxtigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #secfootball #football
After three games, the LSU football team is unbeaten and ranked No. 3 in the country. But that sentence probably would have elicited a lot more excitement a month ago than it does today, when questions remain about the Tigers' offense and the strength of their opposition thus far. Our LSU Sports Insiders reset their expectations for LSU as they enter a game against Southeastern followed by the meat of their schedule. We also take a look at the SEC race and what we want to see from the Tigers against their overmatched foes on Saturday night. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football #secfootball
The LSU football team is 3-0 after beating Florida 20-10 on Saturday night in its SEC opener. But coach Brian Kelly snapped at a reporter in the press conference afterward, showing the mood around the Tigers isn't as rosy as it should be for the No. 3 team in the country. Kelly apologized Monday and the team is ready to move on. But he also announced quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has been dealing with a "torso" injury that has limited his effectiveness and casts another shadow on a team that seems built for drama. Our LSU Insiders break it all down on this episode, where we also try to be positive about some things (five interceptions!) #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #sec #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
The LSU football team plays its SEC opener on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium against the Florida Gators. Some of the intrigue around this matchup might have lessened when Florida lost to South Florida last week, but does that make the Gators even more dangerous? How does LSU shake off a lackluster offensive performance against Louisiana Tech? And how do the teams match up? Our LSU Sports Insiders — Advocate beat writers Wilson Alexander and Koki Riley and editor Zach Ewing — break it all down, including injury news, analysis, keys to the game and finally, our LSU-Florida predictions. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
The LSU football team is 2-0 and ranked No. 3 in the country. So why was Brian Kelly angry after Saturday night's win over Louisiana Tech? And why does all seem so off? It's the offense. Our LSU Insiders break down exactly what is wrong with the unit and determine whether it's fixable or not on this episode, plus we look ahead to the Florida game and take a fresh look at the SEC title picture. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #secfootball #sec #football
After a huge season-opening win over Clemson, the LSU football team returns home to face Louisiana Tech. The Tigers are massive favorites, so winning shouldn't be a problem, but if LSU wants to play well, it'll need to get over the Clemson victory and avoid looking ahead to another big one against Florida next week. Our LSU Sports Insiders dissect the game from that and every other perspective, including the positions to watch for the Tigers against Louisiana Tech. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
On this episode of the LSU Sports Insider, we take one look back at the LSU football team's huge victory at No. 4 Clemson on Saturday night. Our insiders go inside why the defense was so effective, why there are still some question marks on offense and why replay review has lost the plot. We'll also take a big-picture perspective: How have your expectations changed for LSU after just one game? And how does Alabama's loss change the outlook in the SEC race? #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #football #collegefootball #ncaafootball
The LSU football team kicks off its 2025 season with a much anticipated opener against Clemson on Saturday night. Before then, the LSU Insiders gather one more time to discuss some bold predictions — not mundane, we're talking off-the-wall takes here — for the Tigers this year. Also, we'll go over some statistical over/unders to give our final thoughts before the team kicks off the new season. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football #footballpicks
It's finally game week. The LSU football team heads to Clemson on Saturday for a Tigers vs. Tigers, Death Valley vs. Death Valley showdown between two top-10 teams in a game that will shape both the national college football picture and LSU's entire season. Our LSU Sports Insiders break it down, taking both a big-picture look at the meaning of this game and LSU's attitude toward it, as well as an in-depth breakdown of both teams' offensive and defensive units. Finally, we offer our keys to an LSU victory and predictions for LSU vs. Clemson. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #geauxtigers #clemson #clemsontigers #aptop25 #football

The LSU Sports Insiders are back with a full projection of the LSU football team's two-deep. Beat writer Wilson Alexander, Advocate writer Reed Darcey and host Zach Ewing going through the depth chart at every position and give their projected starters and points where there are still battles. Notably, the offensive line has seen some shifting in just the past few days of preseason camp. Is that a sign of panic or just positive competition? #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #lsufootball #collegefootball #football #nfldraft #ncaafootball
With the LSU football team halfway between the start of preseason camp and the season opener at Clemson, Advocate beat writer Wilson Alexander and columnist Scott Rabalais join the show to talk about what has them optimistic and what has them concerned about what they've seen in practice so far. #lsu #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #nfldraft #football #secfootball

The LSU football team put the pads on the first time this week, and that gave our LSU Insiders a further glimpse into exactly what this Tigers team is. One of the takeaways is that the LSU running offense might be improved from 2024, when the Tigers hardly tried to run at all. Advocate writers Koki Riley and Reed Darcey give their reasons for that. We also dive into the internet meltdown over a Garrett Nussmeier injury that seems to be nothing serious, as well as The Athletic's ranking of transfers across college football. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #sportsbetting #football #heisman #nfldraft #transferportal

LSU has had three Heisman Trophy winners and countless other great players and coaches in the history of its football program. But with the recent retirement of Tyrann Mathieu from the NFL, we ask our insiders: Who would you put on an LSU football Mount Rushmore?
