LSU hosts Clemson at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA, on Friday, September 4.
The Week 1 matchup marks Lane Kiffin's highly anticipated debut as LSU's head coach, with significant pressure on the program to deliver a strong season.
The No. 11 LSU Tigers are turning to Sam Leavitt at quarterback, the No. 1 transfer portal recruit from Arizona State. A proven playmaker, Leavitt will be the focal point of the Tigers' offfense this season.
Dabo Swinny enters 2026 looking to turn things around after Clemson finished 7-6 in 2025, the program's second-worst record in his 19 years as head coach. The Tigers also enter the season unranked for the first time since 2011. Starting this season with a road upset over No. 15 LSU would be a significant start for the Tigers.
After losing four of their five starting offensive lineman, the pressure is on senior quarterback Christopher Vizzina to quickly establish an offensive rhythm in just his second career start.
