No. 21 LSU (6-3, 3-2) will hit the road to Gainesville in Week 12 for a Southeastern Conference matchup against Billy Napier and the Florida Gators.

After a 42-13 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 11, Brian Kelly and Co. will have three games remaining on the 2024 schedule with the chance to end the season on a high note.

The Bayou Bengals’ final three opponents are all unranked in the latest AP Top 25 Poll after suffering Week 11 losses: Florida Gators (4-5), Vanderbilt Commodores (6-4) and the Oklahoma Sooners (5-5).

Now, all focus shifts towards next Saturday against Napier and the Gators with the Tigers hitting the road to Gainesville.

Kelly's Thoughts on the Trajectory of the LSU Program:

One Loss Does Not Define LSU:

“Did we not win 14 consecutive games at night? From that perspective, the odds are I feel pretty confident we know what we are doing,” Kelly said on Monday when asked about the faith of the fanbase being wavered. “Am I happy about what happened? No. Are our players? No.

“When it comes to an overall look at the program … we’ve won 10 out of our past 13 games.”

Looking Ahead to the Future:

“I am not in a position to worry about what people are saying about the overall health of the program,” Kelly said. “We have one of the top recruiting classes in the country. Those things are only going to continue to get better.

“A championship program is what we are going to have here. There are going to be some stumbles along the way, but we will get back up and we are going to keep building our program where it needs to be. And that’s a championship program.”

Finishing the Season on a High Note:

“We have the opportunity to finish the season strong and look forward to a minimum of a 10-win season, and that’s a standard for this program,” Kelly said. “We have to play more consistent. Offense, defense and special teams. That’s what is most important. Consistency play in and play out.”
