LSU to Play Purdue in Citrus Bowl

LSU’s 2022 football season will end in the exact same spot where its 2023 will begin: at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

LSU received an invitation to play in the Citrus Bowl (now sponsored by Cheez-It) to play Purdue. LSU and Purdue will play on Monday, January 2 at 1:00 P.M. ET. It will be the first time LSU has ever played Purdue in football. I assume the winner of this game gets full custody of #good quarterback Danny Etling.

LSU’s been a regular at the Citrus Bowl in recent years. LSU has now played in the game three times over the past six seasons; LSU beat Louisville in 2016 and lost to Brian Kelly’s Notre Dame in 2017 (well technically January 1, 2018 but who’s counting?
