LSU Sports Insider

The LSU Sports Insider podcast is back with an episode previewing LSU's trip to Auburn to face the other Tigers. It's a rivalry that has a history filled with crazy results, especially at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and LSU would like nothing more than to go get a win away from home.

Those have been precious for the visiting Tigers, who have lost eight straight SEC road games, including their first two this season. We dissect the matchup, including some good injury news for LSU and where each set of Tigers matches up the best. Finally, we offer our keys to the game and predictions.

The LSU football team enjoyed a routine blowout of Mississippi State on Saturday, and what happened the rest of the day helped the Tigers, too. Top teams fell across the SEC and the rest of the country, opening the door for LSU to re-enter the College Football Playoff conversation.

We'll discuss the possibilities, starting with talk about whether any (or how many) SEC teams could make the playoff at 9-3, then going through the reasons to hope and reasons still to be skeptical of LSU's ability to get there against the rest of its schedule, starting next weekend at Auburn.

The LSU football team returns home to face Mississippi State in a crucial game Saturday at Tiger Stadium. It's a must-win if the Tigers want to remain in any semblance of the College Football Playoff hunt, and LSU might be catching a break, as it appears Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor will either miss the game with a toe injury or be limited in the game.

As for LSU, they'll need to put a frustrating loss at Kentucky behind them and focus on the stretch run, with the help of ... a pink visiting locker room? We'll explain (and also give our keys to the game and predictions).

With a couple of days to digest LSU's upset football loss at Kentucky, our LSU Sports Insiders break down the game, both how it happened and how damaging it is for LSU's playoff hopes. We'll also discuss the Tigers' specific woes on the road and the Sam Leavitt roller-coaster experience.

In the second half of the show, we'll focus on basketball with SEC Media Days coming up this week. On the LSU men's side, Will Wade is talking a big game about his roster, but it's so in flux that it's hard to tell exactly what it'll look like. Either way, the Tigers might be pretty good. On the women's side, we know LSU will be pretty good; but can they be great?

The LSU football team travels to take on the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday night in Lexington. It's been a mostly impressive start to the season for the Tigers, but they don't yet have a road win on the résumé.

How can they accomplish that this weekend and run their record to 5-1? Our LSU Insiders are here to break the game down, with a look at Kentucky's pass rush and third-down conversion rate. Finally, we'll offer our keys to the game and predictions as well as a quick glance around the SEC this weekend.

The LSU Tigers routed McNeese State 63-14 on Saturday night, running their record to 4-1 and racking up 731 yards of offense. It's hard to draw meaningful conclusions from a mismatch, but our LSU Insiders do have a few takeaways, including why Lane Kiffin decided to play Sam Leavitt for a full half and then to keep running plays and gaining yards well after the game was in hand.

We also look forward to the next slate of LSU's schedule, starting with next weekend's game at Kentucky, why the running game and defense continue to show positive signs and take a look around the SEC.

The LSU football team faces McNeese State on Saturday in a game the Tigers should win easily. What does that mean for the status of quarterback Sam Leavitt, who is nursing a minor hamstring injury, and other LSU starters?

Our LSU Insiders are here to discuss LSU's approach to the game, what we'd like to see from younger players and reserves and how it can set the Tigers up for a three-game run against SEC opponents through the rest of October. We also offer our predictions for the game against the Cowboys.

The LSU football team has finished the first month of its three-month season, and our LSU Insiders are here to discuss how things have changed for the Tigers: What has us more optimistic? What concerns us? And how have expectations changed?

We'll also update some of the injuries LSU players suffered in a big win over Texas A&M, recap the biggest play of the game and take stock of the SEC as we set expectations for LSU in October.

The LSU Tigers welcome the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend in a game that is no longer a battle of top-10 teams, but instead top-25 teams each coming off of a frustrating loss.

Our LSU Insiders break down who has the edge when each team has the ball, which mercurial quarterback — Sam Leavitt or Marcel Reed — can avoid mistakes and why this year's Blake Baker defense may finally be able to break its A&M jinx. Finally, we make our picks for what might just be a College Football Playoff elimination game.

After a close loss in an emotional game at Ole Miss on Saturday night, LSU is left to wonder what went wrong and what comes next. Our LSU Sports Insiders discuss the issues from Saturday night that are red flags, which are more fixable problems and what lies ahead for a Tigers team that still has plenty to play for — starting this weekend against Texas A&M.

We also give an injury update on Trey'Dez Green and Dashawn Spears and recap our experiences in Oxford.
