Brian Kelly dropped some huge news out of LSU Fall Camp today. For the first time in his career, he’s starting game prep for an opponent this early—and of course, it’s the highly anticipated Week 1 showdown vs Clemson. Kelly explained why LSU is already focusing on the Tigers, and what it means for the rest of camp.

But that wasn’t all. Kelly also revealed that LSU won’t be naming starters at key positions just yet, choosing instead to let the competition continue. With the kind of depth LSU has this year—a dramatic difference from last season—he believes letting battles play out will only make the team stronger.

And in a major offensive development, Ju’Juan Johnson has officially moved back to running back. Kelly confirmed Johnson will be a significant part of LSU’s attack this fall, adding another weapon to an already loaded offense.

In this episode, we break down:

Why Kelly started Clemson prep earlier than ever

The decision to delay naming starters at key positions

How LSU’s depth is reshaping fall camp

Ju’Juan Johnson’s move back to RB and what it means for the offense

LSU vs Clemson is one of the biggest games of the 2025 season—and Brian Kelly just made it clear his Tigers are locked in.
