LSU won an important game against the Florida Gators this weekend. The 20-10 victory by the Tigers of Brian Kelly propelled them to the No. 3 spot of the AP Poll going into Week 4 of college football. It’s the kind of consistency that fans have long been asking from the Baton Rouge program under Kelly.
Former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne was there to see it all, supporting the future of her former school. She posted her story, a picture of herself in an all-gold outfit at Tiger Stadium on Saturday. She and her fiancé, Paul Skenes, who’s a pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates, were both student athletes at the SEC school.
Dunne was a member of LSU’s gymnastics team from 2021 to 2025, and she won a national championship in 2024 with them.
Although she was never the star of the team, Dunne rose to fame due to her ability to capitalize on the NIL revolution. She amassed a following of 10 million on social media and was the highest-valued female student athlete, with $4.1 million in brand endorsements.
Brian Kelly Goes Off Against the Press After LSU’s Win Over Florida
One would think that a commanding victory of 20-10 over a serious SEC rival like Florida would command some respect from the press for Brian Kelly. However, one of the first questions he was asked in his postgame press conference was what the team could do to improve. Kelly didn’t take kindly to the question.
“LSU won the football game! Won the game! I don’t know what you want from me,” Kelly said. “What do you want? You want us to win 70-0 against Florida to keep you happy?”
“Those are ridiculous questions. And I am getting tired of it. That football team just worked their tail off to get an SEC win and you want to know what’s wrong,” Kelly continued. “Give them some respect. How about that? Instead of micro-analyzing every little thing.”
This is the second highlight win by LSU this season. They opened up in Week 1 with a 17-10 victory over the then No. 5-ranked Clemson Tigers. Their next big test comes in Week 5, when they face the No. 13-ranked Ole Miss Tigers of Lane Kiffin.
