The LSU football team has a game against Arkansas on Saturday, but let's face it, that's not what anyone wants to talk about. Brian Kelly sued LSU! Nick Saban is the new betting favorite to be the Tigers' next coach! Our LSU Insiders discuss all that and, yes, a little bit of the Arkansas game on this episode. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #coachingcarousel #football #woopig #arkansasrazorbacks
The LSU football program has more chaos in its coaching search. This time, it's ex-coach Brian Kelly fighting for as much of his $54 million buyout as possible while LSU tries to minimize its payment to him. Our LSU Insiders comment on the situation and what it means for the Tigers' coaching search. On the field, LSU replaced starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier with Michael Van Buren in the second half against Alabama on Saturday. Will that be the case going forward? More on that and on Nussmeier's ultimate legacy at LSU. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #ncaafootball #collegefootball #football #nfldraft
The LSU Sports Insiders are back to discuss more confusion in the LSU football coaching search saga, this time regarding the title of Verge Ausberry, who has been described as the interim athletic director, the "acting" athletic director and the permanent athletic director at various points this week. We parse what it means and whether it matters. Plus: An actual football game! For the first time since Brian Kelly was fired, LSU takes the field, and it's a big test against No. 4 Alabama. Can the Tigers pull off the upset under interim coach Frank Wilson? We'll break it down and offer predictions. #lsu #lsutigers #lsusports #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
The LSU football team heads to Alabama this week, but the oxygen in Baton Rouge is all being taken up by the team's search for a new coach. Our LSU Sports Insiders are here with more thoughts, including lead beat writer Wilson Alexander, who spoke to 15 people involved with the football program to find out how it all went wrong with Brian Kelly. We also offer updated thoughts on the search after interim athletic director Verge Ausberry and members of LSU's Board of Supervisors held a press conference Friday, look at the latest odds for LSU's next coach and talk about how the timeline will get very complicated for any candidates taking their current team to the College Football Playoff. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #football #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #coachingcarousel
The LSU football team is seeking a new coach after firing Brian Kelly on Sunday, and it's already getting dramatic. Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry inserted himself in the headlines Wednesday, saying that athletic director Scott Woodward would have no part in the new search. What exactly does that mean? And why has it made LSU's search more complicated? Is interim coach Frank Wilson a real candidate? And what are our reporters hearing? The LSU Sports Insiders are here to answer those questions and more. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #coachingsearch #coachingcarousel
A day after the seismic news at LSU that football coach Brian Kelly has been fired, our LSU Insider team gathers to discuss Kelly's tenure, what went wrong and what's next for the Tigers, both in the short-term (Frank Wilson is the interim head coach) and the long-term (the list of potential head coaches is long and fascinating.) #lsu #lsutigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #geauxtigers #coachingcarousel #football
After suffering its second loss last weekend, the LSU football team will face unbeaten No. 3 Texas A&M this Saturday night at Tiger Stadium. Can the Tigers find a way to turn their season around and notch by far their biggest victory of the season? Our LSU Sports Insider crew breaks down the matchup, the injuries, the impact of possible weather and much more before offering our keys to the game and predictions for LSU vs. Texas A&M. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #texasaggies #gigem #secfootball #football #collegefootball #ncaafootball
The LSU football team suffered a disappointing 31-24 loss at Vanderbilt on Saturday, dropping the Tigers to the edge of College Football Playoff contention and raising serious questions about the future of the program. Our LSU Sports Insiders, including beat writer Koki Riley and columnist Scott Rabalais, break it all down. We discuss what went wrong against Vandy, the injuries complicating the situation, why a rebound seems unlikely and what the future holds both for coach Brian Kelly and the rest of the LSU program. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #vandy #anchordown #secfootball #gigem #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
The LSU football team heads to Nashville this week to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores in a pivotal showdown between 5-1 teams. Can the Tigers contain Vandy quarterback Diego Pavia? Will this be the week LSU gets its offense fully uncorked. Our LSU Insiders attempt to answer those questions and more, and finally offer their keys to the games and predictions for LSU vs. Vanderbilt. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #vandy #govandy #vanderbiltcommodores #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
The output still wasn't fantastic, but the LSU offense showed signs of improvement in its 20-10 victory over South Carolina on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium. On this episode, we dive into why that was the case, including: • An improved running game • Is Trey'Dez Green LSU's best skill player? • Garrett Nussmeier looked much healthier • Garrett Nussmeier also still turned the ball over • Speaking of turnovers, was that a fluke or something to worry about? #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
LSU had an open date to figure out some of the issues that arose from its road loss to Ole Miss. Now the Tigers will try to get back on track when they host South Carolina on Saturday in Tiger Stadium. How healthy is Garrett Nussmeier? Can LSU run the ball? And do the Tigers have a plan to corral LaNorris Sellers? The Advocate's Scott Rabalais, Koki Riley and Reed Darcey sit down to break down the matchup and pick a winner.
LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier isn't the only SEC quarterback who hasn't met expectations; this week's opponent, South Carolina, also has a QB who has struggled compared to what he was last year. That would be LaNorris Sellers, whose Gamecocks come to Baton Rouge to battle the Tigers on Saturday. There are other struggling quarterbacks, first and foremost Texas' Arch Manning, and we'll talk about that on this episode, as well as a look around the SEC race and how important these three October games are for LSU. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
As the LSU Tigers embark on the second half of their 2025 season, our LSU Insiders give you six players (all on offense, naturally) who will decide the Tigers' fate, one way or the other, as the SEC schedule grind moves on. Also, we give you an injury update on Garrett Nussmeier and Caden Durham and go around the SEC for what we're watching during LSU's week off. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football
The LSU Tigers lost at Ole Miss on Saturday, and while any loss is frustrating, this one felt more worrisome because of the performance of one-time Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who missed several throws we're used to seeing him make. Coach Brian Kelly insists Nussmeier isn't hurt, but our LSU Insiders aren't so sure, as they break down what ails Nuss and the rest of the offense on this episode. Also, we'll take a look ahead to the second half of LSU's schedule in terms of what it'll take to make the College Football Playoff. #lsu #lsutigers #lsusports #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football #cfp
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
