LSU is working towards their season opening matchup on November 6 against ULM in the PMAC to officially start the third season of Matt McMahon's head coaching tenure in the purple and gold. LSU was 17-16 last season and 9-9 in SEC play.

The Tigers return multiple players from last year's squad including Mike Williams III, Jalen Reed, Derek Fountain, Daimion Collins and Tyrell Ward. They will be joined by three players from the transfer portal in Jordan Sears from UT Martin, Dji Bailey from Richmond and Cam Carter from Kansas State.

It’s “Boo Up” Night with free candy for kids, a pumpkin decorating contest, a costume contest and pregame activities in front of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Admission to the game is free. 

The exhibition game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and will also be simulcast on the SECN+ streaming broadcast.
