(AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) AP SALT LAKE CITY — Utah and LSU have agreed to a home-and-home football series. The games are slated for Rice-Eccles Stadium on Sept.6, 2031, and Baton Rouge on Sept. 11, 2032. “Our aspirations to continue to grow and elevate our football program make opportunities like this especially important. For our student-athletes it is an incredible opportunity to play a high-profile opponent in two fantastic environments,” Utah director of athletics Mark Harlan said in making the announcement. “It also is incredibly attractive to our fans to host a team like LSU at Rice-Eccles Stadium and to go on the road to Baton Rouge and cheer on their Utes.” The teams have played before with the Tigers topping the Utes in 1974 (35-10) and 1976 (35-7) in Louisiana. Utah’s future non-conference schedules include home-and-home contests with two other SEC programs — Florida (2022, 2023) and Arkansas (2026, 2028). The Utes take on Baylor of the Big 12 in 2023 and 2024, plus rival BYU in 2020, 2021 and from 2024-28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
