Lane Kiffin Talks After Practice as Tigers Head Into the Second Week of Fall Camp
Reporters saw only 10-12 minutes of each session as LSU mostly ran individual drills and did not scrimmage, The Advocate reported.
- During Lane Kiffin's first week of fall practices at LSU, reporters have been granted limited access, watching only roughly 10-12 minutes per session. The team has focused primarily on individual position-group drills rather than full-team scrimmages.
- Kiffin took over the program this offseason, succeeding former head coach Brian Kelly. He is emphasizing competition across the roster as the team prepares for a difficult 2026 season opener against the Clemson Tigers.
- Starting quarterback Sam Leavitt is participating fully after recovering from offseason foot surgery, Kiffin said. Leavitt, who transferred from Arizona State, has looked accurate and healthy during opening practice sessions.
- The team is donning full pads this week, with the coaching staff planning to evaluate players during the first scrimmage on Saturday. Kiffin stated the Tigers must improve tackling, an area avoided during spring workouts.
- LSU faces a challenging 2026 schedule, including the Sept. 5 opener against Clemson. Brian Kelly recently predicted a 10-2 record for the Tigers, though Kiffin faces significant pressure to succeed in his debut season.
