4 Oct, 2025
Summary
- LSU football's 4-1 start raises playoff hopes
- Offense struggles with inefficient running game and low scoring
- Tigers face tough ranked opponents in upcoming weeks

As of October 4th, 2025, the LSU Tigers football team finds itself at a crossroads. After a promising 4-1 start to the season, the No. 13-ranked Tigers have seen their College Football Playoff aspirations take a hit following a heartbreaking loss to then-No. 11 Ole Miss last week.
The Tigers' offense has been a major concern, ranking 13th in the SEC in scoring at just 27 points per game. Their running game has been particularly inefficient, raising questions about whether LSU can truly make a push for the playoff.
