Backed by onlookers such as Mulkey and the LSU faithful, coach Kelly<\/a> and his LSU squad pulled through from the Clemson home crowd as the nationally ranked No. 9 school in the country moved past the No. 4-ranked team. Starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier paved the way en route to the triumph after he set up standout tight end Trey\u2019Dez Green with an eight-yard pass for the go-ahead touchdown and seal the deal in favor of LSU.<\/p>\n

With the Tigers<\/a> picking up their first season-opening win in a staggering six years, since 2019 when LSU went undefeated and won that year\u2019s national championship, they now look to carry on that momentum over to their next game, which is on Saturday, Sept. 6, in a home game against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. For Mulkey and the women\u2019s hoops squad, they are looking to win their second national championship in the upcoming 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n
