re: Why did LSU agree to go to Syracuse???

It'll be a good opportunity for the alumni in the Northeast to see the Tigers play. Over the past 15 years, we've only traveled along the east coast as far as the WVU (2011) and Virginia Tech (2002) games. It'll be a great opportunity for recruits in that area to commute via train/car to see them play as oppose to flying to the south and doing so. Lastly, 'Cuse are an ACC team now and fulfills the obligation of a P5 non-conference team on our schedule.

This year is one of the more lackluster schedules we've had in awhile, but we do have some good neutral site games and home-and-home games with BYU, Miami, UCLA, Texas, and ASU coming up.
