LSU Sports Insider ·

2025/09/15

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

2025/09/04

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

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.

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

Many of LSU's players will be important to the Tigers in the 2025 football season, but our LSU Insiders have pinpointed five whose performance — good or bad — could go a long way in deciding just how good LSU can be. We present our swing players, guys who aren't necessarily superstars (yet) but have enough potential to become that. On the other hand, some are players the Tigers are counting on, and if they can't live up to those expectations, LSU will suffer. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers
