Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers will return to Death Valley on Saturday night for a matchup against the Florida Gators in Week 3.

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 look to further develop come Southeastern Conference play in order to carry the momentum into the thick of the schedule in 2025, according to LSU's decision-maker.

"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."

Brian Kelly's Take: Grow After Sluggish Week 2 Win

"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."
