No. 3 LSU will square off against the Southeastern Louisiana Lions in Week 4 with the program continuing preparation for an in-state foe.

Brian Kelly and the Tigers will enter the matchup with an unblemished record, but the Bayou Bengals remain in search of the perfect recipe on offense.

"I feel as if we have not played our best and I feel like everyone could see that. I know that each and every week we're coming out with this 1-0 mentality," LSU offensive lineman Tyree Adams said.

"I feel that will actually take us a long way but we have to focus on now. It's gonna just carry us each and every day through practice dominating practice and once we dominate practice we'll dominate on all Saturdays."

"Really just our run game. Run game, ID'ing the front, knowing the scheme better and also just being physical. I think physicality is like the biggest thing that we kind of just preach on, and we've been showing each and every week, displaying through those four quarters of football. Just critiquing those little things is gonna make us a good o-line."
