LSU football should go back to a first game lightweight.

Upvote or downvote.

Just makes more sense to work out the kinks before jumping in cold with a powerhouse .

Disagree. Playing a big time opponent gets everyone’s attention more in the offseason and during fall camp. Huge feather in the winning teams cap for rest of year too.

Nothing gets the juices flowing quite like Arkansas Pine Bluff at home in 96 degree weather labor day weekend

Quit being a bitch. It’s only a problem when the opponent gets their warmup game in week 0. Big early matchups bring excitement all offseason.

We have a game Nuss at QB with Perkins in his money year

It's setting up to be that kind of year

It does seem like high risk low reward, but I like playing a decent team to start it off.

As long as we keep bringing in top talent that's going to be a great start to the season

Was having a rent a win as our opener ever really that common for us? Maybe only like a handful of times but it hardly seems like a norm or tradition that "going back to" would imply. Feels like we've always started with someone like Oregon, Washington, Miami, Arizona St, UNC, Wisconsin, VT, etc.

I think the big catalyst for our 2011 season was the work that went into preparing for Oregon’s up tempo offense!

No. Its time for CFB to be done with the lightweight games. They suck. Besides losing to FSU in week 1 last year had essentially no effect on our season.

LSU has played the toughest schedule in all of CFB for the last 20 years, year in and year out. The whole country knows it. We play anybody anywhere anytime.

Needs to be in the contract they can’t schedule a week zero game. Or if not we should do it.

At least we won't be playing a team that already has a game under their belt this year
