LSU football is slated to face Houston in the Texas Bowl -- a bowl LSU is getting familiar with. Here's when the game will take place.

Ole Miss will host Kiffin and LSU on Saturday, Sept. 19, in what will be a busy SEC slate. Auburn hosts Florida that same day, while Georgia battles Arkansas in Fayetteville. Texas A&M and Kentucky are set to duel in College Station, and South Carolina welcomes Mississippi State.

No. 8 Oklahoma needed a late 58-yard John Mateer touchdown pass to beat LSU 17-13 to all but lock up a College Football Playoff bid.

LSU football will take the field for the Texas Bowl without three key starters. According to NOLA.com’s Wilson Alexander, cornerback Mansoor Delane, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and linebacker Whit Weeks will all miss the Tigers’ contest against Houston due to injuries.

John Mateer threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Sategna with 4:16 left to overcome three interceptions, and No. 8 Oklahoma beat LSU 17-13 on Saturday night to likely wrap up a College Football Playoff spot.

An LSU football player planning to enter the transfer portal announced that he still intends to play in the Tigers' bowl game vs. Houston.

Lane Kiffin and LSU might have their sights on a former College Football Playoff quarterback that might bring them there in 2026.
