No. 3 LSU (1-0) will square off against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium with the program eyeing a 2-0 start to the 2025 season.

After earning a victory over the Clemson Tigers in Week 1, LSU is 1-0 for the first time since the 2019 season under Joe Burrow and Co.

Brian Kelly and the Bayou Bengals will suit up in Death Valley for the first time in 2025 with the program welcoming the Bulldogs for the home-opener.

"Playing at Tiger Stadium is such a special opportunity. So, I know our guys and staff and fans and everybody associated with the program coming back to Tiger Stadium is pretty exciting. We've got like 45 guys that will be walking down Victory Hill for the first time," Kelly said.

"When you get a chance to open on the road and have some success, you build a lot of momentum. Now, the opportunity to play at home heightens it even more."
