On Saturday, all SEC teams but one (Tennessee) won their season-opener and all ranked teams but one (No. 23 Texas) secured a victory. No. 25 LSU hopes to keep it that way.

The Labor Day weekend festivities continue with the Tigers taking on No. 8 Miami in the 2018 Advocare Classic, a Sunday night treat for college football fans. Ed Orgeron’s squad is more than ready to move on from a Citrus Bowl loss to Notre Dame that ended a 9-4 2017 season. Mark Richt’s Hurricanes are out to prove that last year’s 10-3 season, which included an ACC Coastal division title a trip to the Orange Bowl, wasn’t a fluke. Below, find live updates, including scores and stats, for the LSU-Miami football game.

The lead up

SDS senior columnist Connor O’Gara: I’m high on LSU QB Joe Burrow, but I’m not high on his Week 1 outlook vs. Miami

Here’s a take that’s actually worth listening to — it’s OK to think that Burrow will struggle in the opener, while also thinking he’ll turn out to be a pretty good quarterback.

This won’t be an ideal way for Burrow to kick things off at LSU. Someone who arrived on campus this summer will open his career as the only college game on national television against a defense that led all Power 5 teams in takeaways last year. There’s a reason we saw (Miami’s turnover chain) so much in 2017:

Miami returns 70 percent of its defensive production from its burst-onto-the-scene 2017 squad. That includes the likes of preseason All-American safety Jaquan Jackson, as well as a pair of preseason All-ACC picks in cornerback Michael Jackson and linebacker Shaquille Quarterman.

SDS News: LSU coach Ed Orgeron addresses hot seat talk: ‘I feel confident being the coach’

Every college football offseason, writers and pundits come up with “hot seat” lists. For multiple reasons, LSU coach Ed Orgeron gets mentioned as a coach who could feel his seat start to warm up either during the 2018 season or after. LSU faces an especially difficult schedule this fall with the regular SEC West slate plus a cross-division showdown with Georgia and Saturday’s neutral-site meeting with Miami.

Orgeron was asked about all the hot seat talk Wednesday during the SEC teleconference.
