How did LSU Tigers football perform last season? A look back at Brian Kelly's team's 2023 run

The LSU Tigers ended the 2023 college football season with a win over the Wisconsin Badgers in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The program ended an impressive season with a statement win in a Bowl Game.

Before the 2024 college football season, let's examine how Brian Kelly and his troops performed in the previous season.

How did Brian Kelly's LSU Tigers perform in 2023?

The LSU Tigers started the 2023 college football season in the worst way possible by suffering a loss to FSU on their home turf. The Tigers were soundly defeated by the Seminoles, thus putting them in a dicey position for the rest of the CFB season.

Following their Week 1 loss to the Seminoles, the Tigers went on a three-game winning run, racking up victories over Grambling, Mississippi State, and Arkansas. However, their streak ended when they suffered a close loss to Ole Miss in Week 5.

Following that loss to Ole Miss, LSU lost just one more game for the rest of the year. The loss came against the Alabama Crimson Tide, ending their slim college football playoff hopes. They finished the year with a 9-3 regular season record, good enough to earn a bowl game slot. They won the bowl game in a closely fought game.

What to expect from the LSU Tigers in 2024?

The LSU Tigers, who have a rich tradition of sporting excellence, ended the previous season well above the .500 mark and are expected to post another impressive winning regular season in 2024.

The Tigers faithful will hope for inspired performances from Garrett Nussmeier, CJ Daniels, and Zavion Thomas. They might not be as popular as Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, and Brian Thomas Jr., but at least they know something about winning, which is essential for the program.

There's now an expanded college football playoff picture, giving LSU a better chance of making the collegiate postseason. Expect the Tigers to play good football and be in the mix at the end of the regular season.
