For the LSU Tigers, ending up in the Chick-fil-A Bowl was probably not at the top of their wish list when the college football season began. Now, however, the Tigers will look to end a disappointing season on a high note when they tangle with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets tonight.The Tigers, the defending NCAA champions, will meet home town team and 14th ranked Georgia Tech at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Georgia Dome. The day's final college bowl game will be televised on ESPN.
LSU (7-5) started the campaign 4-0, but then saw its season start to demise with a 51-21 blowout loss to Florida. Another debacle against Georgia, and a loss to rival Alabama knocked the Tigers out of any New Year's Day bowl considerations.
Georgia Tech (9-3), meantime, enters tonight's contest fresh-off a win over rival Georgia, its first in seven years in the series.
The Yellow Jackets compiled 409 rushing yards out of their triple-option offense against the Bulldogs en route to a 45-42 victory.
