Summary
Lane Kiffin told LSU fans to "start drinking at 7:00 a.m." and recreate last week's energy when Louisiana Tech visits Baton Rouge on Saturday night.
The push is aimed at a less glamorous Week 2 matchup that follows LSU's 51-10 rout of Clemson and comes just before a high-profile trip to Ole Miss.
Kiffin said fans should not let the opponent dictate their support, calling Tiger Stadium's opener atmosphere the loudest and most intense longtime observers had felt.
The 51-year-old coach has used similar appeals before at Ole Miss, reflecting a common challenge for major programs trying to fill seats and sustain spending for lower-profile nonconference games.
