We have a nonconference Week 2 college football matchup between the Grambling Tigers and the 14th-ranked LSU Tigers on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET inside Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Grambling is sitting at 0-1 after a 35-31 home loss last week against the Hampton Pirates. LSU is also 0-1 after a 45-24 home loss in Orlando, Florida, against the Florida State Seminoles.
This should be an interesting matchup to see how the LSU Tigers are going to compete throughout the season. It also can give the Grambling Tigers the ability to pull off a major upset.
