No. 10 LSU (5-1, 2-1 SEC) will square off against the Vanderbilt Commodores in Week 8 with all eyes set to be on the Top-20 showdown at FirstBank Stadium.

After getting back in the win column in Week 7, Brian Kelly and Co. will look to carry the momentum into Saturday in Nashville with the opportunity to make a statement.

"We know the areas that we need to improve on," Kelly said on Monday. "They're all very much within our grasp of doing so. But we're going to have to do it over this next stretch.

"We're going to have to go on the road against Vanderbilt, who's a well-coached, fundamentally sound football team, and does a great job in the running game.

"So we're going to have to be better, quite frankly, in all the areas that I mentioned. The foundational principles are exciting for me that I'm seeing, and now we've got to build off those."

Garrett Nussmeier's Take: Week-by Week Improvement

"I'd rather be a team that starts to heat up late than heats up early on, and I'm really excited to see those guys really continuing to mesh now and growing," Nussmeier said.

"I think we're going in the right direction, which is what matters. And so hopefully by the time it gets to crunch time, we're ready to go."
