LSU, Miami Players and Coaches Get into Pregame Scuffle During Warm-Ups

It is no surprise tension was high considering the importance of Sunday's contest at AT&T Stadium. Miami is No. 8 and LSU is No. 25 in the Associated Press poll, and each has College Football Playoff aspirations this season.

An opening win against a marquee nonconference opponent would be just the formula to start building a playoff-worthy resume for each team.
