LSU has added Utah State to their 2019 football schedule, according to FBSchedules.com. The Aggies will receive a $1.5 million guarantee for the game.

LSU will host Utah State at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on Oct. 5, 2019. The Aggies will receive a $1.5 million guarantee for the game, according to a copy of the contract obtained from LSU via a public records request.

LSU and Utah State have met twice on the gridiron and both were in Baton Rouge. The Tigers won both contests, 38-17 in 1993 and 31-14 in 2001.

FBSchedules.com is also reporting that LSU has dropped Idaho from the 2020 schedule due to the Vandals dropping down to the FCS level in 2018.

LSU was previously scheduled to host Idaho in 2020. Due to the Vandals dropping down to the FCS in 2018, LSU has officially canceled the game and will pay no penalty, according to a copy of the cancellation letter, dated March 13, 2017, obtained by FBSchedules.com.

I don't see why some of you whine about something that every single team in the FBS does. Everyone schedules a couple of games against inferior competition. EVERYONE. The team needs the breaks.

Lexman1•85 months

So there's actually another team out there that calls themselves the Aggies? And I thought Auburn was bad, with their identity crisis!

LSUAlum2001•85 months

There are several: Utah State, New Mexico State, A&M, etc..

God willing I'll be there, but this is a WEAK arse game to schedule. I hate bullshite games like this.

CatsGoneWild•85 months

I would rather play Utah instead of a school I've never heard of

JPinLondon•85 months

You've never heard of Utah State? That was a pretty scrappy team about 3-5 years ago, pulled off a few upsets. If I recall, they came within 30 seconds of beating Auburn. And either did beat Baylor (or barely lost to them).

Aranda coached at Utah St

So USU gets $1.5M. Nicholls gets $575k. Interesting.

ksdolfan•85 months

Only thing I can think of is that Utah State has to charter a flight and stay in a hotel. Nicholls just has to hop on a bus.

Schmelly•85 months

That's an expensive arse charter flight

Laman1978•85 months

USU is an FBS opponent. Nichols is not. FBS opponents are higher demand. A win over Nichols means absolutely nothing.

Noooooooooo. Not Idaho!

GaTiger27•85 months

We got Texas in '19 and '20. Can't wait to see our QBs torch em!

Lindsay Scott Jr. will break the LSU all-time passing record during this game. BOOK IT

Solo Cam•85 months

Lol. There's roughly 31 games (including a bowl games) before we play that one. So Lindsay will have to beat out Etling and throw for 285 yds a game for the next 3 years to break it vs Utah State. I'll go ahead and bet you my life savings that Scott doesn't do that.

Solo Cam•85 months

If he just starts after Etling leaves he'll need to average 480 a game. He's not gonna do that. BOOK IT

Adam4LSU•85 months

You know nothing, Solo.
