LSU Football vs. Oklahoma Sooners in Week 14 matchup

LSU Football vs. Oklahoma Sooners in Week 14 matchup

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

Brian Kelly and Co. will look to finish the season on a positive note and reach 8-4 in the 2024 season.

“This will be a great end to the regular season with a team coming off a great win and with both teams looking to finish the season strong,” Kelly said.

Now the focus shifts to Saturday night in Death Valley with a battle between the Tigers and the Sooners.

Here’s what Brian Kelly said about the matchup, pregame updates and a live thread from Saturday night at Tiger Stadium:

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

– LSU OL Garrett Dellinger is out Saturday night against Oklahoma. The veteran offensive guard remains sidelined with an ankle injury suffered against Texas A&M.

– LSU OL Miles Frazier is active against the Sooners. He continues to rehab his ankle injury but will be back in action on Saturday evening.

– LSU WR CJ Daniels was previously listed on the Week 14 injury report with what was described as a “lower body injury.” He is active and will start on Saturday evening.

– LSU honored eight defensive starters on Senior Day: Sai’vion Jones, Paris Shand, Gio Paez, Bradyn Swinson, Greg Penn III, Sage Ryan, Major Burns and Zy Alexander.

– LSU will use redshirt freshman Paul Mubenga at left guard while starter Garrett Dellinger is sidelined with an ankle injury.

First quarter:

– The Oklahoma Sooners won the first coin toss and postponed it until the second half. LSU will receive the ball to begin the Southeastern Conference matchup.

– Garrett Nussmeier opened the first half with consecutive pass attempts. The first pass, intended for Aaron Anderson, falls short, while CJ Daniels catches a screen pass on the second and turns the field for a nine-yard gain.

– LSU’s opening drive stalls after six plays and 17 yards. Peyton Todd punts the ball away for the Bayou Bengals and Oklahoma begins its drive at its own 12-yard line.
