LSU has come to an agreement to host UTSA in 2020, according to FBSchedules.com. LSU will pay UTSA $1.4 million for the privilege, the report states.
The date of the game be Sept. 5, 2020, the lid lifter on the ’20 campaign for both teams, and pit longtime LSU assistant and current UTSA head coach Frank Wilson against his old club.
It will, naturally, be the first meeting between the Tigers and Roadrunners and UTSA’s first game ever against a traditional SEC opponent. UTSA visited Texas A&M last November -- a 23-10 Aggies victory -- and will play at Kyle Field again in 2019.
UTSA also has visits to Memphis and Texas State on its 2020 non-conference slate -- three road trips in four weeks to open the year.
The UTSA game completes LSU’s Texas-centric 2020 non-conference schedule. The Bayou Bengals will host Texas the week after UTSA, and then head to Houston’s NRG Stadium a week after that to face Rice. They’ll complete their non-SEC schedule at home opposite Nicholls State on Oct. 3, a game that was supposed to open the 2020 season until the UTSA game bumped it backward, according to a copy of the contract obtained by FBSchedules.
