Lane Kiffin prepares LSU for Clemson game amid roster court proceedings

LSU head coach Lane Kiffin faces a significant roster deadline this Friday ahead of his team's season-opening matchup against Clemson. Kiffin is currently awaiting the outcome of a Thursday court hearing involving commitments from professional players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. The outcome of this hearing determines whether the two players can be added to the final 105-man roster before the submission deadline. Kiffin took over the LSU program following the 2025 firing of Brian Kelly and an initial seven-win season. The team also prepares for a subsequent game against Ole Miss, where Pete Golding now serves as head coach with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss returning. Kiffin moved to LSU after leaving Ole Miss before their appearance in the College Football Playoff last season.
