What TV channel is LSU-Grambling on tonight? Live stream, how to watch online, time
LSU coach Brian Kelly wants his 14th-ranked Tigers (0-1) to get their minds right Saturday, Sept. 9, when they host Grambling State (0-1). The game will be live streamed on ESPN+ and Sling Orange.
LSU came into the season ranked fifth but tumbled nine spots in the AP Top 25 poll after Sunday’s 45-24 loss to the Seminoles in Orlando.
Their home opener holds some historical significance. Grambling is a storied program in black college football, renowned for its heyday under coach Eddie Robinson, who sent numerous players on to the NFL. But never before have LSU and Grambling met.
Whether the game’s result is significant in the context either team’s season is another question. Grambling plays in the second-tier Football Championship Subdivision. When such teams visit Tiger Stadium, they almost always lose by a lot.
When is LSU-Grambling?
LSU and Grambling meet at 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m.) on Saturday, Sept. 9.
