Clemson Meets LSU

Clemson Travels to Baton Rouge to Face LSU in High-Stakes Season Opener

No. 23 Clemson will face No. 13 LSU in Baton Rouge for the first time on September 5, marking the first meeting between Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and new LSU coach Lane Kiffin. The game is expected to be a significant statement for Clemson as it seeks to return to prominence after a disappointing 7-6 campaign. LSU's new offensive line starters are experienced transfers in Aliou Bah (Maryland) and Jordan Seaton (Colorado), while Clemson opted to bring offensive linemen up from within. Key defensive starters for both teams include 2025 first-team All-ACC linebacker Sammy Brown and defensive end Will Heldt, and 2025 Freshman All-American cornerback DJ Pickett.
