Lane Kiffin identifies pass protection needs for LSU following Clemson win

LSU defeated Clemson 51-10 on Saturday to open the 2026 season under new head coach Lane Kiffin. While the Tigers' offense posted over 300 rushing yards and did not surrender a sack during the contest, Kiffin emphasized that the offensive line must improve in pass protection. Kiffin noted that quarterback Sam Leavitt frequently escaped pressure to avoid potential trouble, masking some of the unit's inconsistencies. Bo Borderlen and Aliou Bah served as the starting guards, while Jordan Seaton, Weston Davis, and Braelin Moore also contributed to the rotation. Kiffin maintains that the offensive line has not reached its peak performance level despite the dominant victory. The team aims for more consistent execution at the guard positions as the season progresses.
