LSU and Baylor have not played since the 1985 Liberty Bowl when coach Grant Teaff and All-American defensive back Thomas Everett led a 21-7 victory for the Bears over the Tigers.

On offense, they won’t have Will Campbell, Emery Jones, Garrett Dellinger, Mason Taylor or Kyren Lacy. On defense, LSU will be missing Sage Ryan, Major Burns and a handful of reserve defensive backs who decided to enter the transfer portal. How do the shorthanded Tigers matchup with Baylor?

LSU (8-4) looks to finish the 2024 season strong against Baylor (8-4) in the Texas Bowl on Tuesday afternoon at NRG Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN and the LSU Sports Radio Network. The Tigers are riding a two-game winning streak with victories over Vanderbilt and Oklahoma at home to conclude the regular season.
