How to watch: LSU vs. Southern
For the first time ever, LSU and Southern will face each other on the football field in front of a sold-out Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:39 p.m. CT on the SEC Network and the LSU Sports Radio Network.
For new LSU head coach Brian Kelly, it’s his first time in Tiger Stadium as well. The Tigers will be looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to Florida State in Week 1 in New Orleans.
“To be in a home stadium like this, where it’s obviously partisan and it’s LSU — I’m pretty excited about it,” Kelly said this week. “As a head football coach, and somebody that’s been in the business as long as I have, I’m really excited about this game because of the historical perspective and how important it is.”

“I think it’s exciting for the city to have two teams playing together, celebrates the accomplishments of both universities,” Brian Kelly said. “You know, the city itself, you know a flagship university like LSU and certainly a great institution, a traditional HBCU University like Southern, bringing them both together I think is an incredible thing for this city.”

“This doesn’t happen. I mean, how many teams get together from the same city? Maybe UCLA and USC. I can’t think of many more that are in the same city that play each other. So, it’s a big deal. It’s pretty cool. I’m excited and I know our players are too.”
