A new era of LSU Tigers football is set to begin in the same location that the last era began, the Big Easy.
When Ed Orgeron began his run at LSU as the head coach after his interim tag was removed, the Tigers faced off with the BYU Cougars in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to open the season. This year Kelly begins his run as the Tigers’ head coach against the Florida State Seminoles in New Orleans.
The former Notre Dame head coach had plenty of work to do as he looked to rebuild the roster. The transfer portal provided a viable option to speed up the process. With the start of the 2022 campaign just weeks away, we preview the season with the help of Athlon Sports, who mentioned LSU among the most improved candidates this year.
