Why is LSU playing AT Syracuse?

[QueenCityGator]

Not too often do SEC schools venture outside of the Southeast (except for bowl games). I think this matchup is a good idea for LSU. It gets the players and program some exposure to the Northeast while providing a high likelihood of victory. I'd like to see us play on the road against a non-conference opponent (besides FSU). Maybe a team in California? Or how about up here in NC? It'd be great for me to drive 2 hours to see us play Duke, UNC, or NCSU (games in which we'd likely be favored).

Name and town if you wish to opine.

Right, because LSU football needs exposure.

I I love the idea and love the idea of us playing in a California or Oregon or Ohio St.

Home and home is my guess.

We had a home/home with them in 1984 and 1991. We shouldn't lower ourselves to playing more than one A She She opponent per year.

Better question is why they are making so many errors. We will not due to money. We might take a game at a neutral site with say Notra Lame.

At the half and up only 7-3, I'm betting the folks at LSU are asking themselves this question. Syracuse started their 5th string QB, apparently.

We open the 2017 season in Arlington, TX v. Michigan.

That's a neutral site, not really the same as Home and Home.

Syracuse is proving just how sorry Auburn's defense is.

Fournette's averaging 10 yards per carry. Just keep feeding him the ball, game over.

LSU D not showing up today and way too many foolish mistakes by their O. Probably not happening again, but who knows. Syracuse is not that good of a team even at home.
