Golden Eagles facing 'strong test' in LSU

The atmosphere on game day at LSU and inside Tiger Stadium — also, lovingly referred to as “Death Valley” — has reached legendary status.

Southern Miss (4-2) has drawn the assignment as LSU’s foe this week. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday in a contest that will be televised by the SEC Network. But Jay Hopson has stressed the importance of ignoring everything with the exception of what takes place in bounds.
