LSU has won seven straight and 56 of its last 57 games against non-conference opponents in Tiger Stadium. What we do know is that Saturdays in Death Valley are already an incredibly tough assignment for any opposing team in the daytime it’ll be a descent into the depths of the madhouse when the sun goes down. They took a humiliating loss to UCLA in Week 1, and rolled up McNeese State in an expected Week 2 win, so we don’t particularly know which LSU team we’re going to get. 20 months removed from their national championship in 2019, the Tigers have had a bit of a identity crisis, taking a lot of unexpected losses and not looking nearly as impervious as they once did. The Tigers, meanwhile, are looking around and trying to figure out if they’re going to meet their expectations this season or not. As expected, CMU (1-1) readily handled their FCS “cupcake” game on Saturday afternoon, blanking Robert Morris by a final score of 45-0, getting on the right side of the win-loss column as they face perhaps their most formidable opponent of the 2021 season in the LSU Tigers (1-1.)
