LSU and Miami are among the most storied college football programs, so it was fitting that they were picked to square off on the field in Sunday night’s primetime matchup.
Expectations are high for both teams this season, with Miami being ranked No. 8, and LSU not too far behind them at No. 24. Fans that attended Sunday’s matchup at AT&T Stadium knew they’d be in for a good game.
The fireworks started before the game even kicked off, though, as tensions were high while the two teams were warming up. Players from both teams were seen getting into it on the field during pregame warmups, with a lot of yelling and trash talking, but not too much else.
It’s feisty. Pregame getting intense.
