Landry Kiffin Backs Texas Before LSU Showdown in November

Landry Kiffin showed support for the Texas Longhorns at the Red River Rivalry in Dallas while her father, LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, prepared for a Southeastern Conference matchup against Kentucky in Lexington. Her appearance in Texas colors on Saturday, October 10, 2026, drew attention because LSU is scheduled to face Texas on November 14 at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.

According to reports from Yahoo Sports and Fox News, Landry attended the game between the top-ranked Longhorns and Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl. She traded her customary LSU purple and gold for burnt orange, wearing a Longhorns hat, a white tank top, and khaki pants. She also coordinated her game-day outfit with her friend Jade.

Landry shared the outfit on TikTok and captioned the video, "Imposter for the day."

Her appearance came as LSU faced Kentucky in a Saturday night SEC contest. Yahoo Sports reported that Landry's boyfriend, LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, was sidelined by a fractured right fibula. Her trip to the Texas-Oklahoma game also came about a month before LSU's scheduled meeting with the Longhorns.

Landry presented the trip as an opportunity to observe a future opponent, according to her social media posts.

"scouting the competition" was the phrase used in the Yahoo Sports report to describe her explanation for attending the game.

In a separate video recorded while traveling to the Cotton Bowl, Landry acknowledged that she was running behind schedule despite being excited about the matchup.

"Happy game day. We're going to spy on Texas today. The game starts in 8 minutes.

Just leaving. And we're 30 minutes away. But we'll make it there.

We will get there. And we're gonna stay. And we're gonna have a time.

I love my belt," Landry said in the video.

Fox News also reported that Landry responded to questions about supporting different SEC programs by acknowledging that teams do not always win. Her posts highlighted the contrast between her father's coaching responsibilities and her own game-day choices.

"U win some u lose some," Landry wrote on TikTok when questioned about her choice of team.

She also indicated that she planned to watch another game involving LSU.

"And go Tigers. We'll be watching at a bar when that game starts," Landry wrote in another video.

When asked why she would attend a Texas game ahead of LSU's meeting with the Longhorns, she offered a brief explanation.

"Spying," she wrote.

LSU and Texas are scheduled to meet on Saturday, November 14, at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge during Week 12 of the college football season, according to Yahoo Sports. The matchup will bring Landry's publicly displayed interest in Texas into focus again when the two programs face each other.
