It's T-minus 25 days until LSU's 2017 season opener lifts off in Houston's NRG Stadium against first-time opponent BYU. Each day until then, here's an LSU sports fact (mostly football but with a sprinkling of other sports) that has a connection to the state of Texas or season openers:
One of the three players in LSU history to return an interception 100 yards for a TD is Houston native Craig Loston. He scored the final points in the Tigers' 37-17 2012 win over Mississippi State when he picked off a pass from State's Tyler Russell at the goal line and went the distance with 1:13 left to play.
