The LSU Tigers remained idle in Week 10 with the program navigating an open date in Baton Rouge ahead of next Saturday's matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Following a chaotic week for the LSU Football program, the Tigers will have interim head coach Frank Wilson at the helm of the program following the firing of Brian Kelly last Sunday.

“It’s a tremendous, humbling moment for myself," Wilson said of becoming LSU's interim coach on Tuesday. "... I recognize this moment is so much bigger than me. I just happen to be the caretaker at this moment for this wonderful institution that we so love.

"It’s our flagship state university and we have tremendous pride in it. I will do my very best and die trying to represent us as a university, as a state, as a community, to the best of my ability, with dignity, honor, and pride, the way LSU has always been and will always be."

Despite the LSU Tigers riding an open date in Week 10, it didn't stop the college football landscape from having chaos on the schedule.

The LSU Tigers (5-3, 2-3 SEC) will return to action on Saturday night for an SEC matchup against Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide as the program looks to silence the coaching search buzz.

"We're going to hire the best football coach there is," LSU interim athletic director Verge Ausberry said on Friday. "That's our job. We are not going to let this program fail. LSU has to be in the playoffs every year in football. There's 12 teams that make it.

"It's going to expand here. We have to be one of those teams at LSU. No substitute."
