“These are three very attractive games against two of the traditional powers in college football,” Alleva said. “These are the types of games that our fans want to see and they will be a huge benefit to our football program and our university.

“The Cowboys Classic is a great event and gives us an opportunity to showcase LSU football in the premier NFL venue in an area that is one of our biggest alumni bases outside Louisiana.”

“This is going to be a great two-game series for both programs,” Alleva said of the LSU-Texas matchup. “The national attention and the excitement that will come with a game of this magnitude that early in the season will be unmatched. We look forward to renewing a long-standing rivalry with Texas.”
