Brian Kelly shared a preview of LSU’s mindset and preparation heading into their highly anticipated matchup with Clemson in Week X.

When asked about having lost their season opener in each of the last X seasons and how to end the drought, Kelly said:

“We’ve made it a specific goal… A specific goal meaning it’s tangible for our guys. If you go through our weight room, we’ve got a Clemson paw print on the bags that we hit every day. It’s on every monitor in the building to go 1-0. And I think it was important to have a tangible, specific goal for us to start the season.”

The Tigers lost their season opener in 2020 to Miss State, 2021 to UCLA, 2022 to FSU, 2023 to FSU, and 2024 to USC.

Kelly is 0-1 on the road at Clemson and 1-3 overall vs. Clemson, all while with Notre Dame.
