Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers will square off against the Southeastern Louisiana Lions on Saturday night in Death Valley with kickoff set for 6:45 p.m. CT.

After three consecutive wins over the Clemson Tigers, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, and Florida Gators, No. 3 LSU is eyeing the program's first 4-0 start since the 2019 season.

Kelly and Co. will look to receive a boost from the offense in Week 4 after a sluggish start out the gate across the first three games.

"I think they're just focused on being technically sound," Kelly said. "We have a lot of players who don't have a ton of experience so really making sure that technique they need to use on Saturday, is present during the week.

"Being demanding that's what they pay attention to and I thought they did a great job this week."
