BATON ROUGE — LSU officially finalized its 2009 football schedule on Tuesday with the addition of Louisiana Tech to the home slate.
The addition of Louisiana Tech to the schedule, coupled with the moving of the Tulane game from New Orleans to Tiger Stadium, gives the Tigers seven home games next year.
The Tigers and Louisiana Tech will square off on Nov. 14 in Tiger Stadium.
The Tulane game will remain on Oct. 31, but will be played in Tiger Stadium instead of the Louisiana Superdome. The teams are scheduled to play in the season-opener on Sept. 4 in 2010 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.
In addition to Louisiana Tech and Tulane, the Tigers home slate in 2009 will feature Southeastern Conference games against Florida, Auburn, Arkansas and Vanderbilt with the other non-conference game coming against Louisiana-Lafayette.
The Louisiana-Lafayette game was moved up a year from 2010 to 2009, switching spots with Southern Miss, who will visit Tiger Stadium in 2010.
On the road, the Tigers will face Washington in a non-conference contest to open the season, before traveling to league foes in Mississippi State, Georgia, Alabama and Ole Miss.
