Okay see the entire LSU football team got the West Nile Virus, BUT they didn't want to look like punks and cancel the game. So Saban got in the buses and drove down I-10 and went to pick up the Lutcher High School Football Team. The uniforms look the same all the have to do is change the "H & S" to a "S & U" and everything is all good.
I was thinking the same except that Tulane kidnapped our boys and put theirs in our uniforms. Had to be the only reason.
The only problem with your theory is the same kickers showed up. So it was probably the same team just different night.
