The LSU Tigers opened SEC play with a 36-33 win Saturday against the South Carolina Gamecocks, but the game was far from close early on.
In this article, we’ll show you the Fighting Tigers 2024 football schedule and how they fare each week against opponents inside and outside the Southeastern Conference.
Kicking off what promises to be a high-scoring season, first-year starter Garrett Nussmeier steps in to replace Jayden Daniels as LSU’s quarterback. He’s got weapons stacked all around him at receiver and running back. Last year, LSU ranked 3rd in Passing Yards Per Game, and despite the new offensive coordinator, Joe Sloan, the Fighting Tigers should put points on the board.
