LSU Is Headed To The Fiesta Bowl vs. UCF

by Staff Reporter

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

No. 11 LSU (9-3) will face undefeated No. 8 UCF (12-0) in the 2019 PlayStation Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, AZ on New Year's Day. Kickoff is set for noon CT (11 a.m. local).

The matchup will be the first-ever meeting between the programs and LSU's first appearance in the Fiesta Bowl. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
“What an honor for our football team,” LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said on Sunday afternoon. “Our team deserved the very best reward at the end of the season that was possible. We feel that we got that with a chance to play in the Fiesta Bowl. What a prestigious matchup on New Year’s Day in a New Year’s Six Bowl against UCF.

“It’s a reward for our young men that worked very hard. I thought we had a good season. These guys started off unknown and had some very big wins throughout the season. This is a great reward for our football team, a very well-deserved New Year’s Day Six Bowl. It’s a great step for the Tigers.”

Last year when I saw Auburn playing against UCF, I thought UCF was going to get demolished. I didn't really watch the game but was astonished with the score. I hope LSU doesn't take UCF lightly.

We need to win and finish top 10. It's the stepping stone to a great 2019 season....

Lose/lose for the Tigers

Stupid comment

panzer•65 months

Silly thing to say. It's a great venue and will be great for the program.

Barbellthor•65 months

Not if we win.

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•65 months

with McKenzie Milton out at QB, UCF will have this as their excuse.

jpbmill•65 months

Who cares? Win, celebrate 10 wins, and move on.

skullopener•65 months

Well lets see how many LSU fans want to throw away their money to this shitty bowl game!!!

CanebreakCajun•65 months

Me! If you call us making our first major bowl game since when..shitty then go put on your roll tide shirt

jpbmill•65 months

@skullopener...you do realize this is the most significant bowl appearance than 2011?

kncstrand•65 months

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. It’s all about the money.

Can ANYONE explain how Texas beat-out LSU to the Sugar Bowl??

kingbob•65 months

Because the Sugar takes the highest ranked SEC team and the highest ranked Big 12 team... Alabama and Oklahoma are both in the playoff leaving Texas and Georgia as the next-highest ranked teams in their respective conferences.

Eriq Killmonger•65 months

Because we lost to Texas a&m, Georgia, and Florida. Had we beat a&m and Florida we would have been in the Sugar Bowl.

JimBob4LSU•65 months

Thanks for the explanation, kingbob

Stingy•65 months

Great job, coach O!

JackieTreehorn•65 months

Best coach in the SEC.

KingMo•65 months

Keep sleeping on UCF and end up like Auburn.

StupidBinder•65 months

We’re not the Barn. Don’t you remember? “F*** DEM!”

CaptainJ47•65 months

Can’t wait the Renaissance by the stadium gonna be packed!

Load Toad•65 months

LSU needs win by 20 pts. A win like that would help recruiting.

Capital B•65 months

We will do the College Football world a favor and humble these arrogant Florida boys. Their claim to prominence and bragging rights stems from beating a banged up Auburn team in last year's Peach Bowl... but we are NOT Auburn and we will prove so on New Year's Day in brutal fashion.

TwoDatBait•65 months

So we still have a chance to be national champs!

Vitus•65 months

lmao

Spankum•65 months

Well played!

jpbmill•65 months

Via transitive property, yes.

Bengaltyger4life•65 months

Great matchup! Good opportunity for LSU to get publicity in a different region. West coast media market is good for future recruits.

JawjaTigah•65 months

Inside FL, UCF is a big deal. Google the size of their student body.

themunch•65 months

IS UCF 25 and O or not? We need to win this game.

vodkacop•65 months

I like this game and this match up. Lots of prestige and money for LSU

OU812•65 months

UCF's rushing defense is weak. Also ESPN interviewed one of their Olinemen and was asked about LSU twice and he changed the subject both times...seemed arrogant.

CanebreakCajun•65 months

All booked. Pull their diapers down and spank that arse. GEAUX TIGERS

DVinBR•65 months

with their quarterback hurt this is a no excuses game

GeauxLSUBengalTigers•65 months

Did you see what the backup did yesterday? 300 passing. 2 tds passing and 4 tds rushing.

DVinBR•65 months

yeah, against a team that gave up 41 points and lost to tulane
