Why Lane Kiffin's LSU football debut made history before kickoff
The Tigers fight in the bayou was delayed by over two hours.
In a historic LSU football debut, the Tigers faced a two-hour delay due to severe weather in Baton Rouge before taking the field against Clemson. This late start added drama and intrigue to an already high-stakes game. Lane Kiffin, who brought in former NFL players Dae Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, made waves with his roster additions. However, after Clemson threatened legal action, the Tigers decided not to activate Wright or Harris for the game. LSU's new kickoff time is set for 9:40 p.m. ET on ABC.
