🎥 LSU+: FILM ROOM

Film Room | Coach Kelly Breaks Down Key Plays vs. Southeastern
Head Coach Brian Kelly goes inside the Film Room with Gordy Rush to analyze key plays that led to LSU's commanding 56-10 victory over in-state opponent Southeastern on Saturday night.

🔼 Rocky Mountain LOW. The LSU women’s golf team, led by 5-under par rounds from senior Taylor Riley and Elsa Svensson, posted a strong 13-under par round Wednesday to finish in third place in the Golfweek Red Sky Classic at the Red Sky Ranch and Golf Club in Wolcott, Colorado.

The Tigers posted their second double-digit under par round of the tournament, its third in two events and the 13-under par score of 275 is tied for the fifth lowest in school history. LSU finished 54 holes at 19-under par 845, tied for the ninth lowest 54-hole score in school history for women’s golf.

⛳️: RECAP

🔼 Aces Are High. ICYMI! Three LSU players are listed among the Top 50 Transfer Pitchers for the 2026 season by D1Baseball.com. The list includes LSU junior right-hander Cooper Moore (No. 6), sophomore left-hander Danny Lachenmayer (No. 21) and junior left-hander Santiago Garcia (No. 48).

Preparation for the 2026 season is ongoing, and the reigning National Champions begin their six-week, full-squad fall practice period on Thursday, Oct. 9. The 2026 season opens on Friday, February 13, when LSU plays host to Milwaukee in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

🔼 May the Bayou Tigers Win. The LSU Soccer team (5-5-1, 0-2-1 SEC) continues its conference road slate against Auburn (5-2-3, 1-0-2 SEC) this evening at 6 p.m. CT inside the Auburn Soccer Complex.

Auburn leads the all-time series over LSU with a 22-9-5 record. They are also 12-1-2 when facing LSU on their home pitch. The last time LSU won in Auburn was in 2009.

The last time the two programs met was at the 2024 SEC Tournament, when LSU upset Auburn in the tournament and came out on top with a 2-1 win.

🔼 Be Kind and Rewind. Here are some highlights from a night of honoring our LSU HOFers!

🔼 Coach’s Stamp of Approval. Diamonds are found in the rough, and LSU has been known to cut gems into diamonds throughout the years, and this story is a case in point.

Ashton Stamps is a Louisiana native who played at Archbishop Rummel High School in New Orleans. Rummel has produced numerous collegiate athletes, including two LSU standouts in Ja’Marr Chase and Kristian Fulton. After his junior season ended, Stamps earned five scholarship offers, but none were from LSU.

The defensive back decided to attend LSU’s Elite Skills Training Camp, where he stood out among hundreds of recruits. LSU head coach Brian Kelly and assistant head coach Frank Wilson decided to offer a scholarship to Stamps. Just two weeks later, he committed to the Fighting Tigers.

“I came in under the radar,” Stamps said. “I was the last offer in my class. So, the confidence may not have been where it’s at now, but I worked my way through it.”

🏈: FULL STORY

🔼 Southpaw Success. Griffin Herring, the 2024 Second-Team All-American (Baseball America, D1 Baseball, NCBWA), has seen tremendous success in the minor leagues.

LSU will host two exhibition games, open to the public, at the end of October. LSU will face Mississippi College on Oct. 23 and Langston on Oct. 30. LSU’s season opener will be Nov. 4 at home against Houston Christian.

Mulkey enters the season with a 754-124 overall record in her 25 seasons as a Division I head coach. During her time in Baton Rouge, Mulkey has accumulated 122 victories in 142 games.
