🎥 LSU+: THE PATH
The Path | 1-0 | S4 EP1
Since January, LSU Football has been relentless in its roster construction and preparation. With the addition of new faces and the return of familiar ones, the Tigers attacked this year's opener at Clemson with a different mindset and a single goal: to go 1-0 each and every week.

🔼 Your First Glimpse at Greatness. The LSU Women’s Basketball team will officially begin practice for the upcoming season on Tuesday, September 23, on the main floor of the PMAC. Practice will start at 1:30 p.m. CT, and doors to the PMAC will open at 1 p.m. The first 300 students at the open practice will receive free pizza.
Coach Kim Mulkey returns for her fifth season leading the Tigers after another Elite Eight run last season. LSU returns key players, including First-Team All-SEC duo Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams. Kailyn Gilbert, a pivotal player who returns to the loaded backcourt alongside sophomore Jada Richard, will look to build on her strong freshman season. LSU will also showcase its No. 1 recruiting class.
🏀: ENTRANCE/PARKING INFO ℹ️

🔼 An Auspicious Start. Cornerback Mansoor Delane has been selected as the Bednarik Award National Player of the Week for his performance in LSU’s 17-10 win over No. 4 Clemson on Saturday.
Delane, in his first game as a Tiger after transferring from Virginia Tech, tallied two tackles, an interception and broke up two other passes in helping the LSU defense to one of its best performances against a Top 10 opponent. The win marked the fifth time in program history that LSU beat a Top 4-ranked team in a true road game. It marked only the fifth time since 2016 a Clemson offense was limited to fewer than 50 rushing yards.

🔼 The Signal Call is Coming From Inside the House. Senior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has been named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in LSU’s 17-10 win over No. 4 Clemson. On Monday, Nussmeier was selected as the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. The national honor is the first of his career.
Against Clemson, Nussmeier completed all nine of his passes in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 11 consecutive completions.

🔼 Thrice as Nice. The LSU volleyball team begins a stretch of nine road matches over its next 10 contests at the Flo Hyman Classic in Houston, Texas, today through Saturday (Sept. 4-6).
LSU (1-2) will face Omaha (2-0) at 4:30 p.m. CT today, take on San Diego State (1-1) at 4:30 p.m. CT tomorrow, Sept. 5, and close the weekend against host Houston (3-0) at 4 p.m. CT on Saturday, Sept. 6. Saturday’s match will stream live on ESPN+.
The Tigers are 19-16 all-time against the tournament field, including a 17-13 mark versus Houston and a 2-3 record against San Diego State. Thursday’s opener will be the first meeting between LSU and Omaha.
