BATON ROUGE — The LSU Tigers are in their fifth week of spring practice under new head coach Lane Kiffin. 

"The offensive line, you know, with so many new guys has come along, well, I think in general, just the understanding of our expectations, how to practice, how to work, how to prepare, that's come a long way, and I'm really pleased with that," Kiffin said Tuesday at a news conference after practice. "In general, of the players, we have really good culture kids, kids who chose to come here have really bought in. The ones that stayed have really bought into the changes. So that's been really good, because that's not always easy."

The former Ole Miss coach's LSU team will debut in Death Valley on Sept. 5 against Clemson.

According to ESPN's SP+ rankings, LSU is ranked No. 10 in the nation as of March 27.
