SEC Nation headed to Baton Rouge for LSU-UCLA

SEC Network’s weekly, traveling pre-game show, SEC Nation Presented by Johnsonville, gets ready to preview the Week 4 action in Baton Rouge between the UCLA Bruins and the 16th-ranked LSU Tigers. The show will originate from The Quad from 9-11 a.m. CT, Saturday, Sept. 21, on SEC Network.
For Brian Kelly’s Tigers, LSU was able to beat South Carolina, 36-33, in Columbia, S.C. this weekend. LSU’s now 2-1 on the season after its first SEC contest.
“It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s early in the season,” Kelly said after the game. “We’ve played two really good opponents – Power Four opponents – in USC and UCLA, and we’ve had the lead in the fourth quarter twice. One we let slip away, and this one, we finished off.
“Football teams take on, you know, identities and personalities. This group’s gonna battle. It may not be the cleanest. We’ll continue to coach them because they want to do so well for LSU. They want to do it the right way, and they’re gonna work at it.
