The decision followed a 35-0 halftime lead and allowed Kiffin to insert backup players while maintaining game intensity. The Tigers recorded 731 total yards, with five different players scoring rushing touchdowns, before facing a tough SEC schedule starting with Kentucky.

LSU Fills Roster Cap, Closing Door on Ex-NFL Players Wright and Harris

LSU has finalized its 105-player roster by adding edge rusher Gabriel Reliford and cornerback Aidan Andling, a move that eliminates any possibility of adding former NFL players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. This decision coincides with a temporary restraining order hearing in Alabama, where the Southeastern Conference seeks to enforce its rules regarding professional athletes returning to college. Although a Louisiana judge previously granted an injunction allowing Wright and Harris to play, LSU head coach Lane Kiffin chose not to list them on the roster due to uncertainties surrounding potential SEC penalties. The conference has also scheduled a meeting to decide whether to terminate LSU’s membership, citing violations of its governance principles.
