LSU will meet Baylor in the Texas Bowl next week.

For LSU, it’s a reunion with former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who earned the Baylor head coaching job after helping lead the Tigers to a national title.

LSU and Baylor don’t see each other often. They’ve met 11 times, but not since 1985. Baylor won that one 21-7 in Memphis.

LSU will hope for a better showing this time out. The Tigers can’t reach their 10-win marks from 2022 and 2023, but LSU can finish the year on a three-game win streak and carry momentum into 2025.

The 1908 meeting isn’t just noteworthy because of the score, but this is the year LSU announced itself to the sport. This squad is one of the most dominant in program history. The Tigers finished 10-0 and outscored opponents 442-11.

In 1960, Baylor’s special teams led the Bears to a 7-3 win in…
