It was another ugly game, but at the end of the day the LSU Tigers moved to 7-4 with a 13-10 win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium. The offense once again struggled to get anything going, but the defense stood tall allowing just three points and 152 yards of total offense to WKU.

A major bright spot from the final home game of the 2025 season was all three Weeks brothers getting on the field at the same time. All three brothers have seen the field this season, but never at the same time. With Saturday's feat, Zach, West, and Whit Weeks became the first trio of brothers to share the field at the same time in LSU football history.

Weeks brothers make LSU history against WKU

In an otherwise forgettable win, the Weeks brothers making history is a moment the Weeks family will never forget. It was senior night for West, the eldest Weeks brother, who was one of 27 seniors recognized in a ceremony before the game. West made his mark on his final home game, collecting seven tackles, half a sack, and crucial a pass break up that ultimately led to a DJ Pickett interception.

Whit had not seen the field since the South Carolina game, as he's been battling an ankle injury. But he made his return to action for the first three defensive series for the Tigers against the Hilltoppers. He didn't dress for the second half, presumably to rest up and get healthy for LSU's season final at Oklahoma next Saturday.

"It’s honestly the biggest blessing ever,” West said following the game. “Not a lot of people get to experience what it’s like to play college football, and let alone do it with two brothers. It truly is special.” The Weeks brothers will look to help LSU finish the season on a high note next week at Oklahoma.
