LSU’s much awaited season debut ended on a positive note as the Tigers defeated the Miami Hurricanes 33-17.
The contest featured Dallas Cowboys alumni as honorary captains for their respective alma mater. Former linebacker Bradie James and offensive tackle La’el Collins represented LSU, while former defensive tackle Russell Maryland and wide receiver Michael Irvin showed for Miami.
Things heated up in the Advocare Classic plenty of time before kickoff with a brief scuffle between the two teams that took place at midfield roughly an hour before the game got started. According to multiple reports, the defensive backs - with Miami DT Gerald Willis being named in specific - were the primary instigators.
