LSU star Will Campbell is ready to hit the ground running in Las Vegas.

The Tigers play the USC Trojans this Sunday in Vegas and it’s one of the best games of Week 1. It should be an all-out battle between the two top 25 teams.

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a great college football matchup. And when you add Sin City to the mix, the storylines write themselves.

LSU star Will Campbell talks about the game against USC in Las Vegas.

However, there are plenty of distractions in Las Vegas, but Campbell makes sure the focus stays where it needs to be:

What’s happening on the pitch.

“We know what we’re here for. This isn’t about going to Caesars Palace. This is about getting into a fight,” Campbell told the media on Tuesday, according to SI.com.

He further told the media, “That’s not why we’re there. We’re here to play football. I’m not there for all that other stuff. I’m just going to Vegas to play football. Everyone knows we’re only going there for one reason. We’re not going to Caesars Palace, we’re playing USC.”

I love the energy. I love the passion. You know a team is in for a lot of fun when a player talks about getting into a fight.

That’s exactly the kind of atmosphere fans expect from their team before one of the most important games of the season, and he’s not wrong.

As I said above, there are constant distractions in Las Vegas. This city is literally designed to attract as much attention as possible.

It’s full of alcohol, gambling and good cheer…but none of that will help the Tigers start the season 1-0. They’ll have to be hyper-focused if they want to beat the Trojans to start the year.
