Now, it's full steam ahead towards the Tuesday night matchup against the Cajuns with an opportunity to get back on track.

A look into the full preview for the midweek matchup, Jay Johnson's thoughts and Derek Curiel's hot start to the season.

Jay Johnson's Take:

“We can’t let a little bit of disappointment from last weekend (at Texas) diminish what our team has accomplished to this point. We need to respond quickly against a very good UL Lafayette team. It’s almost like the thought of having amnesia about the past, and getting ready to re-set and move forward this week.”

LSU's Series Record vs. UL-Lafayette:

• LSU leads the all-time series with UL Lafayette, 58-28, as the squads first met in 1912 … LSU has won eight of the past 12 meetings with ULL, including a 5-4 victory last season (March 2) in the Astros College Classic in Houston … in their most recent visit to Baton Rouge, the Cajuns defeated the Tigers, 8-5, on April 18, 2023, in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

Derek Curiel's Hot Start: Freshman Phenom Shining

• Freshman leftfielder Derek Curiel – the Tigers’ lead-off hitter – has reached base safely in all 25 of LSU’s games this season, and he is the only Tiger to accomplish that feat … he is No. 3 in the SEC in on-base percentage (.564), No. 3 in batting average (.420), No. 4 in walks (24), No. 6 in doubles (9) and No. 7 in hits (37) … Curiel is batting .391 (9-for-23) in LSU’s SEC games with one double, one triple, one homer, five RBI and six runs.
