Urban Meyer Reveals Why He’s Not Too Bothered By Lane Kiffin’s LSU Falling to Kentucky

Lane Kiffin’s LSU Tigers suffered a stunning 35–34 overtime loss to Kentucky on Saturday, marking their second SEC defeat of the season after a 32–24 setback to Ole Miss in Week 3. The narrow defeat exposed defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of clutch finishing, raising doubts about the Tigers’ playoff hopes despite their star-studded roster.

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, however, remains optimistic, arguing that LSU could still secure a playoff berth with two or three losses in a more competitive college football landscape. The Tigers face a grueling stretch against Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and Mississippi State, with their next game set for Week 7 against the Bulldogs in Baton Rouge.

Meanwhile, former LSU player Mark Ingram II dismissed the team’s chances, calling their season ‘cooked’ after the Kentucky loss. LSU currently holds a 10.9% chance of making the expanded 12-team playoff field, per Pro Football Network’s latest projections.
