LSU continues to reshape its football staff as Lane Kiffin hires Ole Miss running backs coach Kevin Smith. The move immediately sparks transfer portal speculation — could All-SEC running back Kewan Lacy be next to follow Smith to Baton Rouge?

We break down what the hire means for LSU’s offensive direction, recruiting, and portal strategy, and why this crossover between LSU and Ole Miss may not be finished yet.

Plus, the Texas Bowl picture is coming into focus. Linebacker Harold Perkins and offensive lineman Josh Thompson have opted out of the matchup against Houston. We discuss the growing list of absences, project the starting lineups, and analyze how LSU will line up with the players available for bowl week.

Topics include:
• Kevin Smith hired as LSU RB coach
• Portal implications and Kewan Lacy speculation
• Texas Bowl opt-outs: Harold Perkins & Josh Thompson
• Updated LSU depth chart vs Houston
• What LSU’s availability means on the field
