No. 3 LSU will return to action on Saturday night against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs with the Tigers looking to start the season 2-0 for the first time since 2019.

After taking down Clemson in Week 1, Brian Kelly and Co. remain in headlines as a program emerging as an early National Championship contender.

Despite the outside noise, LSU is taking it one game at a time with the "1-0" mantra taking over the locker room for the Bayou Bengals.

"There's a standard of playing football here at LSU, and that's the standard that we're gonna have to play when we go on that field. Every Saturday, there's a standard, and our guys know what the standard is," Kelly said. "We're gonna be demanding, not demeaning, but we're gonna be demanding.

"Our expectations are that if we want to go 1-0, we have to do the same things each and every week, and we're not moving off of that. We've heard enough about the other stuff. We're gonna focus on what we can control, and that is today."

Now, LSU will take the field at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night in the program's home opener with all eyes on Kelly's No. 3 ranked squad in America.

"When you get a chance to open on the road and have some success, you build a lot of momentum. Now, the opportunity to play at home heightens it even more."
