Kiffin Debuts, Two Spots Open, and Judge Gets Close

Lane Kiffin opened the LSU era without the two players who spent Thursday in court. Host Jim Rand breaks down why Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris stayed off the one hundred three-man roster LSU submitted for Saturday night against Clemson, why two spots remain open, and why a Clemson contract warning and an SEC federal filing still matter after Judge William Jorden's injunction. In Eugene, No. 2 Oregon hosts Boise State at Autzen. Dante Moore came back. Ashton Jeanty did not. A twenty-four-and-a-half-point spread is a dare, not a guarantee. In San Diego, Aaron Judge took on-field batting practice for the first time since May 31. The Yankees captain is mad it took this long. A homestand starting Tuesday is the window. Skipping minor-league rehab games is the argument. Wednesday, Super Bowl champion Seattle hosts New England in a rematch of February. Thursday, the 49ers and Rams play in Melbourne. Watch who is on the sheet. Watch who takes the snap. 🗣️ Check out other great shows! 🎙️ **The Odyssey: Short & Engaging Retellings** A modern, vivid retelling of Homer’s epic poem — one book at a time.
