The Southeastern Conference announced Monday LSU’s Nov. 28 football game against Arkansas will be a 6 p.m. kickoff and the game will be televised on ESPN.The matchup marks the first time since 1996 the “Battle for the Golden Boot” will be played on a Saturday. From 1997-2008, the game was played the Friday following Thanksgiving.LSU will head into the rivalry game having lost two straight meetings with the Razorbacks. Arkansas won last season’s meeting, 31-30, with a last-minute touchdown. The Razorbacks also were victorious in their most recent trip to Tiger Stadium and walked away with a 50-48 win in triple overtime in 2007. But the Razorbacks have not conquered the allure of a Saturday night in Death Valley in either of those two wins. LSU has won 39 of its past 41 Saturday night games in Tiger Stadium since 2002. The Tigers also have a 20-game winning streak in games broadcast by the ESPN family of networks.–Contact Casey Gisclair at [email protected]
