LSU Faces Louisiana Tech in Death Valley on Saturday Night
Kiffin said LSU must keep its focus after a 51-10 win over Clemson, while Louisiana Tech’s unusual defense poses a challenge.
- LSU hosts Louisiana Tech at Tiger Stadium on Saturday, with head coach Lane Kiffin urging his team to avoid a letdown after dominating Clemson. Kiffin warned that past performance has "nothing to do with what you're going to do the next week."
- Following a 51-10 victory over Clemson last weekend, LSU starting quarterback Sam Leavitt leads the Tigers into Week 2. Kiffin challenged players to ensure "everything's got to be the same" during preparation, emphasizing consistent practice and focus.
- Coming off an 80-6 victory over Northwestern State, Louisiana Tech head coach Cumbie brings confidence to Baton Rouge. Starting quarterback Blake Baker impressed in his return from knee injury, "passing for touchdowns of 75, 27 and 9 yards" against the FCS opponent.
- Cumbie acknowledged the matchup presents a "huge challenge" but noted that "with every challenge comes a great opportunity" to compete. The Bulldogs aim to prove themselves against the Tigers despite being heavy underdogs in Tiger Stadium.
- Kiffin must design offensive plays to counter Louisiana Tech's unconventional 3-3-5 defensive scheme. "They're really different on defense," Kiffin said, noting the formation "creates a lot of challenges" for the Tigers' game plan.
