LSU ran its record to 3-1 overall following last week's 35-26 win over Syracuse in Tiger Stadium. In that game, five different Tigers scored touchdowns as LSU led from start to finish in the victory over the Orange. Troy, members of the Sun Belt Conference, won 10 games a year ago capped with a 28-23 win over Ohio in the Dollar General Bowl. The Trojans are coming off a 22-17 victory over Akron last week and stand at 3-1 overall. Troy has won three straight games since dropping a 24-13 decision at Boise State to open the season.

LSU leads the series with Troy, 2-0, however, the Tigers had to rally from a 31-3 second half deficit to win, 40-31, in 2008 in Tiger Stadium. In 2004, LSU scored a touchdown with just over two minutes left in the game to win, 24-20. The Tigers bring a 49-game non-conference Tiger Stadium winning streak into the Troy game. The streak stands as the longest current streak in college football and is also the longest such streak in modern day college football history. Harvard holds the longest non-conference home field winning streak at 55 straight from 1890-95. LSU last lost a home non-conference game in 2000, dropping a 13-10 last-second decision to UAB.

Our teams has come in focused this week and are working hard to get better with each practice,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said after Thursday's workout. “This (Troy) is a physical football team and an opponent that we respect. They have come into Tiger Stadium before and played very well so they are going to have confidence that they can do it again. Our team is going to be ready to play.
