SEC Nation Will Be Live From Baton Rouge for LSU vs. UCLA

Last week, College Gameday visited Columbia, South Carolina for LSU/South Carolina when LSU came from behind to defeat SC. This week, the Tigers will return home for a non-conference matchup against UCLA and it looks like SEC Nation will be coming down for the game!

SEC Nation is an ESPN show that previews college football games from the SEC The show, which follows the concept of College Gameday, previews SEC football matchups from an SEC school every week. The show airs every Saturday from 9-11 a.m. on the SEC Network. The two-hour pregame show features various weekly segments.

This Saturday, SEC Nation will be live from Baton Rouge as LSU hosts UCLA. The show is a fan favorite, similar to ESPN's popular College Game Day. It features former players like Roman Harper, Jordan Rodgers, and Tim Tebow, as well as ESPN personalities Marty Smith and Paul Finebaum. The broadcast will air from 9-11 AM CST on the SEC Network.

Last week, College Game Day visited Columbia, South Carolina, for LSU's SEC opener against the Gamecocks. While Paul Finebaum had called the decision "bizarre," the game ended up being one of the most exciting matchups of the week. Mistakes from both teams kept the game close, making for a thrilling second half.

This weekend will mark SEC Nation’s first visit to LSU since their upset win over Ole Miss in 2022. LSU has a 12-9 record in games where SEC Nation broadcasts live from Baton Rouge. This matchup against UCLA was originally seen as a tricky game for the Tigers, but UCLA has struggled in its first two games, and LSU is now heavily favored.

In addition to SEC Nation, fans can catch other shows like The Finebaum Show on Friday afternoon and Marty & McGee on Saturday morning, all filmed on LSU's Quad.
