Lane Kiffin Addresses LSU's Red-Zone Struggles Ahead Of Texas Game

LSU head coach Lane Kiffin addressed the Tigers' ongoing red-zone struggles during his weekly radio show Thursday night ahead of Saturday's matchup against No. 6 Texas.

Despite moving the ball effectively throughout the season, LSU has struggled to finish drives with touchdowns, particularly against SEC opponents.

"That's really been our number one problem offensively," Kiffin said. "We've got all kinds of yards and all those things, but inside the 10, if you look at the SEC games alone, we have 10 drives inside the 10 that we did not score touchdowns."

Kiffin added that five of those drives resulted in no points at all.

"We've got really good players because we move the ball," Kiffin said. "Some people have a lot of three-and-outs. We move the ball the length of the field. Now, inside the 10, we've got to execute better in those situations, and we've got to call better plays sometimes, too."

Later in the show, Kiffin was asked what LSU fans could do to better support the team against Texas.

"Well, that's not our problem. Fans are good," Kiffin said. "It's not a fan problem. It's a red-zone execution problem and getting some more turnovers on defense. So we've got to work on those things."

LSU will look to improve in those areas Saturday night against a Texas defense that has allowed just six touchdowns in 13 red-zone opportunities this season.

Kickoff from Tiger Stadium is set for 6:30 pm CT.
