2023 LSU Tigers football team

The 2023 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University (LSU) in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers were led by Brian Kelly in his second year as LSU's head coach. Quarterback Jayden Daniels won the Heisman Trophy and several other awards for the season after scoring 50 total touchdowns, leading the NCAA with nearly 5,000 total yards, and setting the FBS single-season passer rating record.

LSU's football team played its home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This was the final year for the West division as Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC in 2024.

Schedule

LSU and the SEC announced the 2023 football schedule on September 20, 2022.[1][2] The 2023 Tigers' schedule consists of 7 home games, 4 away games and 1 neutral site game for the regular season. LSU will host four SEC conference opponents Arkansas (rivalry), Auburn (rivalry), Florida (rivalry) and Texas A&M (rivalry) at home and will travel to four SEC opponents, Alabama (rivalry), Mississippi State (rivalry), Missouri and Ole Miss to close out the SEC regular season on the road. LSU is not scheduled to play SEC East opponents Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt in the 2023 regular season. The Tigers's bye week comes during week 9 (on October 28, 2023).
