Kinder’s Texas Bowl Preview and Details
The LSU season has played out like a true soap opera. The Tigers were one of the top-ranked teams in the preseason. Fast forward four months, they went through the dramatic firing of Brian Kelly, which also led to the firing of athletic director Scott Woodward. At one point, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry was in the headlines talking about LSU football. But in the end, the Bayou Bengals got their man: Lane Kiffin was hired, and the fanbase probably just wants this season to end. As for the Houston Cougars, head coach Willie Fritzis on the cusp of a 10-win season. He won’t care that it’s a downtrodden LSU team. A win against LSU in a bowl game can propel this Houston program into 2026.
