Before the game, LSU will honor its 28-member senior class with a ceremony prior to kickoff. Of the 28 seniors, three have been with the Tigers for five years – QB Garrett Nussmeier, DT Jacobian Guillory, and WR Chris Hilton, while 14 joined the program through the transfer portal. Sixteen members of LSU’s senior class have earned their college degree.

“I think our team is anxious and eager for one more time for those guys who have spent five years, four years or recently got here, in this senior night where we celebrate them,” said head coach Frank Wilson. ”You earn a right to go into that stadium and run out of that tunnel. I think it’s starting to resonate. You are seeing guys stay after practice and look around and gaze. To go into Tiger Stadium will be a big deal for them. I’d imagine during the game and postgame, they will take it in.”

Last week, LSU got back into the win column with a 23-22 victory over Arkansas to capture the Golden Boot behind quarterback Michael Van Buren, who went 21-for-31 with 221 yards passing and a touchdown. Sophomore running back Caden Durham rushed for 66 yards on 12 carries with a score, while freshman Harlem Berry tallied 54 yards on 11 carries. Tight end Bauer Sharp caught the lone touchdown pass of the day. Read more.
