Tonight’s game between No. 15 LSU (18-6) and Louisiana-Lafayette (13-10) has a little more on the line than the standard midweek game.
For the Tigers, the key word is retribution – though they won’t admit to it.
The two teams were in a similar place last season when they played March 22 in Alex Box Stadium. LSU sported a 16-4 record but was coming off a sweep at the hands of then-No. 1 Florida.
Possibly still shaking from three close losses to the Gators, the Tigers got their tails handed to them by the Ragin’ Cajuns in an 11-5 loss, one of the uglier defeats in a midseason slide that effectively eliminated LSU from postseason play.
