Peetz taking over favorable situation

For the first time in 21 years, LSU will not be coming off a winning season when it visits UCLA at the Rose Bowl to begin the 2021 campaign.

The Tigers will have new offensive and defensive coordinators. Coach Ed Orgeron has not hired a man to lead the defense as he has been turned down by Marcus Freeman, who is going to Notre Dame, and Ryan Nielsen, who is remaining with the New Orleans Saints.
