LSU kicks off 2023 hype with dominant Citrus Bowl performance
LSU capped Year 1 of Brian Kelly’s tenure in Baton Rouge by getting a 10th win with a blowout over Big Ten West winner Purdue. The Tigers’ 63-7 Citrus Bowl victory over the Boilermakers has college football fans looking forward to what’s ahead for Kelly’s squad in the 2023 season.
On Twitter, there was talk of LSU being a championship contender in Year 2 under Kelly. The Tigers return many of their top players next season, including Jayden Daniels and Harold Perkins.
Here’s a sample of what’s being said about the Tigers on Twitter:
I'd call them the favorite. Alabama's QB situation is looking dire. If anyone knocks LSU off it'll be Ole Miss or (don't laugh) Auburn.

The 2023 hype for LSU will be boosted by the Tigers’ season opener. Kelly’s squad will return to Orlando to begin the 2023 campaign against Florida State, a rematch of LSU’s 2022 opener. The Seminoles finished No. 13 in the final College Football Playoff rankings before picking up a 10th win with a Cheez-It Bowl victory over Oklahoma. Both teams could be preseason top-10 squads for 2023.

Like I said after the SEC championship game, I’m glad Nussmeier did not play the whole game vs Georgia. Great win Tigers, very impressive.
Loved that my Tigers won big but loved that Hail State got the win for Mike – Hail State should be the cry from the whole SEC. Also go Dawgs!! Finish this season right and win that Natty!
LSU should be one of the top 2 tms in the West next year and an absolute title contender. The tm will have much more depth than it had going into this year and 100x more stability. And it’s an odd yr (23) which have historically been good to LSU for some reason. Excited for this team going forward.
