If any FBS school in the country called up LSU and said, "We'll play 1 game against you in Baton Rouge with no return game and a modest payout," LSU would probably accept the offer and try to fit them in the schedule.

Well, compensation for what? Originally, USA and LSU were supposed to play a game in November, 2016. LSU canceled that game when the Florida situation arose, so .... playing that game at a later date does restore the status quo ante in a way. USA lost a game at LSU, now they will play a game at LSU.

LSU paid USA for the breach. As they should have. New deal, new payment.

As far as claim by others that @LSU is a 'bodybag game', last year LSU lost at home to Troy who then got absolutely crushed by USA at home the next weekend.

Let's face it: It's a body bag game. Every once in a while a body emerges from the bag and bites the undertaker in the arse, but usually ...

South Alabama is 2-1 in their last 3 vs P5/Top 25 teams. For us, the body bag games are the ones versus 0-7 teams. LOL. Last year we managed to lose 52-0 to a winless team.
