After avoiding an upset in Columbia against South Carolina, LSU returns home looking to start the season 3-1 as it hosts UCLA on Saturday.
The Bruins are in the midst of a rebuilding campaign in Year 1 under DeShaun Foster, who was hired late in the cycle after Chip Kelly’s departure. They’re 1-1 but coming off an ugly, 42-13, home loss to Indiana in the Rose Bowl.
The Tigers are looking to string their third win in a row on Saturday in a game that kicks off at 2:30 p.m. CT. Here’s everything you need to know to watch it.

LSU vs. UCLA predictions, picks, odds?
Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Friday, Sept. 20.
Prediction:
I have my questions about the Tigers through three weeks, and I think this team could have some issues in its tougher SEC games. But UCLA, in its rebuilding state, is not really in a position to stress those weaknesses on Saturday. I see the Tigers scoring some points in this one, and I doubt the Bruins will be able to say the same. LSU 41, UCLA 17
Odds: LSU (minus-21.5)
O/U: 56.5
