LSU football coach Lane Kiffin explains choice to keep Clemson weather delay

LSU coach Lane Kiffin opted to maintain a 90-minute weather delay before the season opener against Clemson at Tiger Stadium on September 6. Officials offered both teams the opportunity to shorten the wait time, but Kiffin declined, citing the poor condition of the visitors' locker room as a competitive factor. LSU went on to dominate the game, winning 51-10. The Tigers controlled the matchup, recording 644 total yards while limiting Clemson to 145. Sam Leavitt led the offense with 230 passing yards and 113 rushing yards, while Dilin Jones added two rushing touchdowns. LSU held a 31-3 lead at halftime and maintained control throughout the second half to secure the win.
