The LSU Tigers (7-4, 4-3) return to Death Valley for the regular season finale with a Southeastern Conference clash against the Oklahoma Sooners set to kickoff at 6:10 p.m. CT.

Brian Kelly and Co. will look to wrap up the season on a positive note and reach 8-4 status on the 2024 season.

“This will be a great way to finish off the regular season, with a team that’s coming in off of a great win and with both teams looking to finish the season strong,” Kelly said.

Now, all focus shifts towards Saturday night in Death Valley in a battle between the Tigers and Sooners.

Here's what Brian Kelly said of the matchup, pregame updates and a live thread from Saturday night in Tiger Stadium:

What Brian Kelly Said:

“It’s a team that presents a number of different challenges,” Kelly said. “They ran the ball extremely well this past weekend. Jackson Arnold is an outstanding quarterback who can throw it, but rushed for 131 yards on 25 carries (against Alabama). That will be a challenge for us.”
