LSU gets Halloween weekend off, but the Tigers won’t be idle for long.
After recovering from an overtime loss at Kentucky three weeks ago, LSU is heading into a brutal stretch that starts with a visit from No. 10 Alabama. The Tigers will return to action next week at Death Valley, opening a run of three straight games against ranked SEC opponents.
The schedule only gets heavier from there. After Alabama comes No.
11 Texas, then a trip to No. 16 Tennessee before LSU closes the regular season Thanksgiving weekend at Arkansas.
In a year full of strange results across the league, the Tigers’ place in the standings could look very different by the time that stretch is over.
For now, though, LSU is off and waiting for the Tide.
LSU’s next game is Saturday, Nov. 7 against Alabama at 3:30 p.m. ET. The game will air on ABC and can also be streamed on Fubo.
Here’s LSU’s remaining regular-season schedule:
- Sat., Nov. 7 vs. Alabama - 3:30 p.m.
- Sat., Nov. 14 vs. Texas - TBD
- Sat., Nov. 21 at Tennessee - TBD
- Sat., Nov. 28 at Arkansas - TBD
Fans looking for the rest of the Week 9 college football slate have plenty of options on Saturday, Oct. 31, including No. 5 Notre Dame vs.
Navy at noon on ABC, No. 3 Georgia vs.
No. 17 Florida at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, No.
1 Miami vs. North Carolina at 7:30 p.m. on ABC, and No.
11 Texas vs. Mississippi State at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.

LSU May Be Weighing A Surprising Lamar Brown Role Change
Lamar Browns Instagram post has added a little intrigue to LSUs roster picture, because the freshman defensive lineman appears to be hinting at a possible move to the offensive line. Brown has mostly been used on the defensive side this season, and his playing time has been limited, which makes any potential shift worth watching as the Tigers continue sorting out where young talent might fit best.
LSU has not officially confirmed any position change, and for now Browns future remains in the realm of possibility rather than announcement. Still, a switch like this would be notable for a player whose early college role has not yet fully settled, and it gives the Tigers another personnel storyline to monitor as the season moves along.

LSU Just Got A Stunning Title Vote Before Alabama Week
Nick Saban rarely hands out compliments lightly, which is why his latest national title pick turned heads around Baton Rouge. With LSU sitting at 6-2 and No. 15 in the rankings, the former Alabama coach pointed to the Tigers as a sleeper candidate to win it all, citing a team that has paired strong scoring with a defense that has done its part. Six of LSU's wins have come by 20 or more points, a sign that when the Tigers are rolling, they can separate from opponents in a hurry.
The timing makes the endorsement even more interesting with Alabama coming in at 6-2 and ranked No. 10 for a matchup that already had plenty riding on it. Saban did flag quarterback Sam Leavitt's turnover issues as a possible obstacle, a reminder that LSU still has questions to answer before any championship talk gets serious. Still, getting that kind of vote of confidence from Saban just before Alabama week adds another layer to a game that was already going to carry plenty of weight. [Read more 🡒]
LSU Faces An Early Recruiting Test In A Battle Fans Will Notice
The early stages of B.J. LaFells recruitment already have a familiar LSU feel to them. The son of former Tigers receiver Brandon LaFell, the 2029 prospect has picked up offers from LSU and Notre Dame, along with other programs, and the Tigers are leaning into a pitch that combines family ties with a long track record of developing NFL receivers.
For LSU, this is the kind of battle fans will notice because it reaches beyond the usual recruiting chatter and into legacy territory. Notre Dame gives him a national alternative with its own appeal, and the process is still just beginning, with coaching relationships and development opportunities likely to matter as much as any school name on the offer sheet.
