Future SBC member New Mexico State to play at LSU in 2014


It looks like the Aggies are have updated their 2014 schedule and are headed to play in the big Tiger Stadium in the fall of 2014.

New Mexico State will travel to face LSU at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on Sept. 27, 2014. The Aggies and the Tigers have played each other before and it wasn’t a friendly matchup between the two. In 1996 the Tigers beat the New Mexico State Aggies 63-7. The Aggies are ready for a re-match just as the new College Football Playoffs come into play.

Although an official announcement has yet to be made, the game is listed on NMSU’s official website and reportly have a signed contract.

New Mexico State currently has other games scheduled for 2014 to include Cal Poly, New Mexico, at Rice, and at UTEP. One of those games has to be canceled to round out a 12 game schedule, once the Aggies join the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2014. Playing a big name school as LSU in 2014 could help Aggies in recruiting some talented players that want to play on a team that will be playing against an SEC team.
