In Lane Kiffin’s first season at LSU, the Tigers are 2-1 after a 32-24 loss at Ole Miss and remain in the College Football Playoff hunt. His earlier first-year records ranged from 4-12 with Oakland in 2007 to 11-3 at Florida Atlantic in 2017.
His other previous first-year records are listed as 7-6 at Tennessee in 2009, 8-5 at USC in 2010 and 5-5 at Ole Miss in 2020, a season shortened amid COVID disruptions. The article’s USC account instead says the Trojans finished 7-5, so it gives conflicting totals for that season.
The article lists No. 23 Texas A&M as LSU’s next opponent, followed by No. 24 Mississippi State on Oct. 17. Its November schedule includes games against No. 8 Alabama, No. 1 Texas and No. 14 Tennessee.
