I know nobody gets too jazzed up for an FCS opponent, but it’s pretty cool to see LSU play Southeastern. For one, it’s the first matchup in 69 (nice) years, and once upon a time the Lions had a proud program with six Gulf States Conference championships in the 50s and early 60s.
It should make for one helluva tailgate, if nothing else, and that’s a key element of any home opener.
What To Watch For On Saturday
You play a week one neutral-site opener with top 10 opponent, just win however you can.
But when you play an FCS opponent in week two, now it’s time to show some actual improvement and frankly, just look good.
