The matchup everyone’s watching in Week 1: LSU’s brand-new secondary against Clemson’s passing attack. After last season’s struggles at safety, the Tigers reloaded through the portal with AJ Haulcy and Tamarcus Cooley, two proven playmakers who could completely change the back end of Brian Kelly’s defense. We break down how they fit, what it means for LSU’s game plan, and whether this unit can erase the biggest weakness from 2024.
We also have a recruiting update from Shea Dixon, as LSU makes a hard push to flip RB KJ Edwards from Texas A&M and safety Blaine Bradford from Ohio State — two potential additions that could reshape future classes.
Plus, history at Tiger Stadium: Dixon McMakin has been named the new public address announcer, stepping into the legendary role held by Dan Borne, who retired after decades as the Voice of Death Valley.
Don’t miss this full breakdown of LSU’s defensive upgrades, recruiting battles, and big off-field news as the countdown to Clemson continues!
