“We haven’t played very well the last three weeks,” Kelly said. “(The players) know that. Everybody knows that. Everybody that watches LSU Football knows that. They want to play better football. We want to coach better and we want to play better. They responded (in practice) the way that I thought they would.”

LSU leads the all-time series with Vanderbilt 24-7-1 with the last victory coming in 2020 when Myles Brennan threw for 337 yards and four touchdowns en route to 41-7 win. The last Commodore victory in Baton Rouge came in 1951.

“Our football team is still working to be the best version of themselves,” Kelly said on Thursday. “What we needed to do is win some close games this year. We’ve won a couple, and we’ve lost three. We need to finish these last two.”
