The LSU football team will play Idaho in Tiger Stadium on Nov. 21, 2020, according to reports from FootballSchedules.com and The Advocate released Monday.
Both reports state the Tigers will pay the Vandals $1.4 million guaranteed to head to Baton Rouge. The last time the two schools played, LSU defeated Idaho, 63-14, in 2012.
The Tigers already have Texas scheduled for the 2020 nonconference slate, which will also be played in Baton Rouge on Sept. 12.
FootballSchedules.com also reported the Tigers have moved their scheduled game against Georgia Southern from Sept. 2, 2017 to Aug. 31, 2019.
Originally, the game against the Eagles was scheduled for 2014 but was moved to 2017. Then, LSU scheduled BYU for the 2017 season opener, causing the Tigers to find another date for the Georgia Southern game.

Lunardi also projects three other SEC teams will make the field of 68 — No. 2-seed Texas A&M, No. 5-seed Kentucky and No. 8-seed Florida.
The Tigers will play Auburn at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday in Auburn, Alabama.
