How much is on the line for Brian Kelly against Clemson?
LSU v Arkansas | Wesley Hitt/GettyImages The 2025 season is a critical one for Brian Kelly. LSU has posted an overall record of 29-11 in three seasons under Kelly, with a 17-7 mark in SEC play. He's won three consecutive bowl games, but Tiger fans expect more than Citrus, ReliaQuest, and Texas Bowl victories in Baton Rouge. The last three LSU head coaches all won national titles by the end of their fourth seasons.
A lot is on the line for Kelly in Week 1 against Clemson. Kelly's performance at LSU has been highly debated during the offseason, and as he enters Year 4, he needs to put together a strong season. That all starts on Saturday.
