The SEC released its complete revised 10-game SEC games only schedule Monday night.
LSU’s schedule had seven date changes from the eight original league playing dates on the 12-game schedule that got bagged because of the coronavirus. The season is set to start Sept. 26, the latest start for a season opener for the Tigers since Sept. 29, 1956 when LSU lost to Bear Bryant-coached No. 11 Texas A&M 9-6 in Tiger Stadium.
Vanderbilt and Missouri were the two Eastern Division opponents added to the LSU schedule. The Tigers play at Vandy and home against Missouri in consecutive games in October 3 and 10 respectively.
“It’s another step in the journey,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said. “The ability to take a step at a time, like starting practices today. There is some flexibility in the schedule at the end of the season. The circumstances around the virus will guide us forward.”
If LSU fans are looking for good omens with the new schedule, here’s a couple:
The last time LSU played the same amount of home and away games (five each) was in 1958 when the Tigers won the national championship.
Also, the season opener of LSU’s 2007 national championship season was a 45-0 shutout at Mississippi State.
Here’s the new schedule with the previous original opponent in parenthesis. Game times and TV networks have yet to be set.
Sept. 26 Mississippi State (Ole Miss)
