6. Sackreminto State (7-5 in FCS)
8. ULM (pronounced "Uhlm") (3-9)

What a bitch.Daniels sends cease and desist to LSU after Pickett given No. 5
An attorney representing Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has informed LSU that it can no longer use his name, image and likeness, according to an Aug. 5 letter sent to Tigers athletic director Verge Ausberry, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN on Wednesday.
At the center of the dispute, according to a statement from Daniels' spokesperson to ESPN, is that the Tigers are allowing sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett to wear the No. 5 jersey that Daniels wore when he became LSU's third Heisman Trophy winner in 2023.
While Daniels' jersey hasn't been retired by the Tigers, it's the first time a player has worn No. 5 since he left the program for the NFL.
"The Daniels family is deeply disappointed and feels profoundly disrespected by LSU's decision to give Jayden's number to another player," the statement from Daniels' spokesperson said. "Jayden and his family had every reason to believe that his number would remain a meaningful part of his LSU legacy and would be honored and protected in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the university."
Pickett was wearing the No. 5 jersey when the Tigers opened preseason practice last week, leading to questions about why first-year LSU coach Lane Kiffin had allowed the jersey swap to happen.
"Jayden made it clear that he did not want his number given to another player, and he believed his wishes would be respected," the statement said. "His Heisman Trophy-winning season and everything he accomplished on and off the field cemented his place in LSU history. To see his number given to another player is incredibly disappointing and feels like a failure to honor the significance of what Jayden accomplished at LSU."

Kiffin told reporters on Aug. 5 that Pickett had been promised he could wear No. 5 when he signed with the Tigers in December 2024. Pickett had worn that number as a high school star in Zephyrhills, Florida, where he was the No. 2 cornerback in the Class of 2025 by ESPN Recruiting.

However, LSU's current policy regarding jerseys being retired, which is published on its athletic department website, states that any number retired after Jan. 1, 2007, "does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach."

Just sayin': HOW LSU SHOULD FILE DANIELS' LETTER....
Ruined his legacy in BR/Louisiana.
And when you think about how rife with corruption this place is, that’s quite the feat!

Just the entitled attitude that he’s so good no one should wear 5 again at LSU.
Troy Smith did more for OSU than this freaking guy and we have someone in 10 constantly. Including our QB THIS YEAR.
Rightfully getting burned online for this.
Hopefully LSU doesn’t bitch out

LSU expected to add ex-Ole Miss star DT Zxavian Harris after NFL stint in late boost for Lane Kiffin

LSU expected to add ex-Ole Miss star DT Zxavian Harris after NFL stint in late boost for Lane Kiffin
Lane Kiffin hasn't been shy about bringing NFL rookies back into the fold, as another former Ole Miss star is expected to join LSU
It's not often that teams can add a standout veteran to their roster less than two weeks before the start of the season, but that's exactly what LSU has done twice in the last week. Sources tell CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz that former Ole Miss star defensive lineman Zxavian Harris is expected to land with the Tigers after a brief stint with the New Orleans Saints.Harris is taking advantage of a recent Louisiana ruling, under which athletes from the Class of 2022 have received temporary restraining orders to gain a fifth year of eligibility. LSU has already made plans to add tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who seems destined for a return to college football after being waived by the Cleveland Browns.
Most recently, Harris was in training camp with the Saints after going undrafted in 2026. The Saints waived Harris on Aug. 8, and he hasn't landed with another NFL team, so it is expected that he will reunite with his former head coach in Baton Rouge.
A four-star recruit in the 2022 signing class, Harris really broke out as a senior last fall. He was a key cog in the Rebels' defense -- wreaking havoc in the middle of the line to the tune of 58 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. That was enough to get Harris invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
