College football returned last weekend, but now Louisiana teams are in on the action.

Why it matters: The flashiest matchup this weekend takes the LSU Tigers to Las Vegas for their season opener against USC.

Zoom in: With Heisman winner Jayden Daniels' exit last season, all eyes will be on Garrett Nussmeier, the No. 13-ranked Tigers' new starting quarterback.

NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune's LSU reporter Wilson Alexander has a story worthy of your time for understanding why Nussmeier, a junior, was willing to wait for the spotlight to find him in Baton Rouge.
Hint: His Louisiana roots go real deep.

Meanwhile, the Tulane Green Wave plays Thursday at home at Yulman Stadium.

Attendees may notice improved food options this year, including two new stands from Edgar "Dook" Chase IV, The Times-Picayune reports.
