With just two games remaining on the regular season schedule, interim head coach Frank Wilson is looking to lead the LSU Football program to a strong end to a chaotic 2025 season. The Tigers fell to Alabama 20-9 in Wilson's first game at the helm, but were able to snap a three-game losing streak with a 23-22 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks last Saturday. Now, LSU is set to welcome the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to Baton Rouge this Saturday in LSU's final home game of the season.
