No. 3 LSU will square off against the Florida Gators in Week 3 with Billy Napier's program heading to Baton Rouge for a Southeastern Conference showdown.

For Brian Kelly and the Bayou Bengals, the program will enter the clash with a 2-0 record after back-to-back victories to open the season.

But Kelly and Co. will need to hit another gear come SEC play in order to carry the momentum into the thick of the schedule in 2025, according to LSU's shot-caller.

"If I didn't think we had the players, I'd be in here giving you the coach Kelly spin. I'd give you everything that I could come up with about how great we are," Kelly said on Saturday. "We've got better players on this roster, and we've got to coach them better, and they've got to execute, too.

"This is all in on everybody. This isn't just, 'Well, our coaches stink,' or 'Our players stink.' This is everybody collectively (not living) up to the standard that we have set here."

Now, all eyes are on Week 3 with the Florida Gators heading to town for an SEC clash at Tiger Stadium.

A look into the game information, early betting lines and Kelly's take on what's next for the program.

Brian Kelly's Take: Entire Program Must Step Up

"We didn't coach well enough and we didn't play well enough tonight, and that's not our standard," Kelly said after the win. "And so they're disappointed in that they didn't live up to that standard. They want to, they want to do it. They just didn't do it tonight."
