The Tigers are used to playing night games in venues bigger in the SEC. Their own home stadium at night is a sight to see. LSU is 47-4 in night games under Les Miles, compared to 18-13 during the day. The Tigers already have won two night games away from home -- against Oregon in Texas, and at Mississippi State last week.
One other note: LSU has won 35 straight nonconference regular season games. So a daunting task awaits. But the West Virginia crowd is beyond fired up. A sea of gold will greet the Tigers tonight, with fans furiously waving gold towels. In fact, the stadium was mostly full 45 minutes before kickoff. West Virginia observers say this is the loudest the stadium has been in years.
Fans put on a great show for College GameDay this morning. Some camped out as early as Thursday in anticipation of the game. Now it is finally here. That sea of gold in the stands will be matched with a sea of gold on the field -- West Virginia will wear all gold tonight.
