The 2026 season marks a new era for LSU football. Head coach Lane Kiffin will lead the team into Tiger Stadium during the home opener against Clemson on September 5.
The matchup against the ACC foe won't be the first time Kiffin took the field in Baton Rouge. LSU is the third SEC program to place him at the helm, and he led one of those squads against the Tigers several times.
Kiffin comes to LSU fresh off a six-year tenure at Ole Miss. He brought the Rebels back to national relevance, guiding the program to four double-digit win seasons. The Rebels made the College Football Playoffs for the first time in program history.
In 2009, Kiffin held the head coach role at Tennessee. The Volunteers finished second in the SEC East and made an appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. He brings plenty of familiarity with the conference between his stops in Knoxville and Oxford.
Here are the three times Kiffin's teams played at LSU inside Tiger Stadium.
December 19, 2020
Kiffin's first game in Baton Rouge came in the abbreviated 2020 season. He led Ole Miss into Tiger Stadium for the season finale and lost 53-48, despite holding a late lead.
The contest turned into a shootout as Max Johnson threw for 435 yards and five touchdowns for the Tigers and Matt Corral threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns. The LSU defense forced six turnovers, including five interceptions, while Kayshon Boutte set an SEC record with 308 receiving yards. He scored the game-winning strike on a 45-yard pass with under two minutes to play.

Another shootout ensured in 2022 between LSU and Ole Miss. Heisman winner Jayden Daniels threw for 248 yards and rushed for 121 yards in the 45-20 victory for the Tigers on their home field. After trailing to start the fourth quarter, LSU used two rushing touchdowns by Daniels to take the win.
Jaxon Dart led Kiffin's squad, passing for 283 yards, as did Quinshon Judkins. The running back found the end zone twice. Jaray Jenkins and Mason Taylor each caught touchdowns for LSU. Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas combined for 63 receiving yards.
October 12, 2024
The latest matchup between LSU and Ole Miss at Tiger Stadium needed overtime to decide a winner. The Tigers got the best of Kiffin again, using a 25-yard strike from quarterback Garrett Nussmeier to Kyren Lacy to win 29-26.
Ole Miss kicker Caden Davis set the stadium record with a 57-yard field goal to begin the extra frame but LSU ended on top. Nussmeier passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns. The Tigers sacked Dart six times and broke up 12 of his pass attempts. Lacy recorded 11 passing yards while Cayden Lee and Tre Harris both went over 100 receiving yards for the Rebels.
