The Sooners will be the fourth Top-10 and sixth Top-20 team the Tigers will face this year. LSU will be making its first trip to Oklahoma on Saturday and the meeting will be only the fifth all-time between the two programs. The Tigers lead the overall series, 3-1, which includes a 37-17 victory last year in Death Valley in what was the first time the teams met as conference foes.

“Certainly a formidable opponent that is very, very talented,” Wilson said of Oklahoma. “Extremely well-cached. We’ll see the Tigers go into Norman for the first time. I’ve never been there in any capacity. It will be fun and a great challenge for us and certainly something we’re looking forward to.”

Quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. will be making his third-straight start for the Tigers. The sophomore has thrown for 647 yards and a touchdown in 2025, along with adding 72 yards and a score with his legs. Center Braelin Moore, wide receivers Aaron Anderson and Nic Anderson, and defensive end Gabriel Reliford will be unavailable for the game.

On Tuesday, cornerback Mansoor Delane was named a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the premier defensive back in the country. Delane has only allowed 13 receptions and 147 total yards all year with two interceptions, nine PBUs, and a QB passer rating of 27.5 allowed. The numbers speak for themselves. Read more.
