LSU head football coach Brian Kelly is brimming with confidence as he embarks on his second season in Baton Rouge. Fresh off an impressive 10-win campaign and an appearance in the SEC championship game, Kelly’s Tigers are now ranked No. 5 in The Associated Press preseason poll. The anticipation is palpable as LSU gears up for a showdown with No. 8, Florida State in a Week 1 Top 25 clash, with the Tigers seeking redemption following a heartbreaking loss to the Seminoles in the previous season.
Speaking on “The Brian Kelly Show,” Kelly exuded optimism about his team’s prospects. While acknowledging that there are areas that still need improvement and that a significant portion of the travel roster comprises freshmen and transfers, he made his intentions clear: “We’re going to go beat the heck out of Florida State.” Under Kelly’s guidance, LSU made an impressive leap, going 10-4 in his inaugural season after a subpar performance the year before.
Kelly emphasized that LSU is still in the process of developing its football program, with the future looking increasingly bright. The coach likened the team’s trajectory to a stock on the rise, instilling excitement among fans and supporters. With LSU enjoying a year of championships in other sports, Kelly is determined to maintain the momentum and continue the pursuit of success on the gridiron, where the ultimate measure of achievement is capturing championships.
The LSU football team, last crowned national champions in 2019, is eager to replicate that glory under Kelly’s leadership, building on the energy and momentum generated by recent triumphs in other LSU sports. As the Tigers prepare for their highly anticipated clash with Florida State, fans and players alike are filled with optimism, looking forward to what promises to be an exciting season ahead.
