## Resource

LSU’s explosive new era kicks off this Saturday against Clemson, with head coach Lane Kiffin and a stacked roster primed for playoff contention—but the brutal schedule looms large. With key matchups against Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee, a 10-2 record could lock them into the College Football Playoff, though projections vary from Las Vegas Bowl disappointments to ESPN’s 10-seed playoff run. The real question? Can quarterback Sam Leavitt and the revamped offensive line deliver under pressure? While playoff hopes are high, early exits remain a risk—yet Kiffin’s first year is already laying down a strong foundation.
