With the Bruins now representing the Big Ten, it marks the first time a team from that league has ventured into Tiger Stadium since 1987 when then-No. 4 LSU and then-No. 7 Ohio State went to the wire in a 13-13 tie in late September in Death Valley.

The original deal was signed Jan. 9, 2014 and LSU was to play UCLA in the 2024 season opener on Saturday, Aug. 31 at Tiger Stadium. The game was rescheduled so LSU could play in the Las Vegas Kickoff Classic, a top-25 matchup with USC for which LSU was paid $5 million by ESPN Events.

Louisiana's largest football stadium turns 100 this fall. Why it matters: Death Valley has been called the best place to watch college football, and we have to agree. State of play: Tiger Stadium's inaugural football game was held Nov.

The UCLA Bruins are thirsty for a comeback after a crushing 42-13 defeat to the Indiana Hoosiers. However, it doesn't look like things are going to get any easier. UCLA Football is set to take on the LSU Tigers this Saturday.
