BATON ROUGE — LSU football is back in action on Saturday after a "hard-fought victory on the road" over the University of South Carolina.

Head coach Brian Kelly met with the media on Monday to discuss the Week 3 win and to preview this week's upcoming game against UCLA on Saturday in Death Valley.

Following the win, Kelly said that he wants to focus on cleaning up the team's performance in three areas: schemes, personnel and preparation. He said that having new coordinators on both sides of the ball has given the team a bit of a learning curve in trying to figure out what play schemes work best for what permutation of players and how to prepare with those groups accordingly.

"We're a lot closer to finding those things out and we continue to look for (ways at) getting better in those areas," Kelly said.

The Tigers are 2-1 following the 36-33 win over the Gamecocks and are currently ranked No. 16 in the country in the latest Associated Press poll released on Sunday. 

LSU and UCLA's matchup on Saturday is a rematch of 2021's season opener in Los Angeles where the Tigers lost 27-38. Kelly said that the Bruins have a veteran defense that they will be spending the week preparing to face off against.

"This is a lot about us and how we clean up the things we need to clean up to be a better football team playing now against a Big 10 opponent," Kelly said. "As we've seen, everyone's gonna play their best against LSU."

The Tigers face the Bruins at 2:30 p.m. on WBRZ on Saturday.
