LSU fans will see a familiar face on the sidelines of Death Valley on Saturday.
Former LSU coach Les Miles will be among those honored in the 10-year anniversary celebration of the Tigers' 2007 national title. He will be joined on the field by members of that '07 squad, he confirmed with The Advocate (Baton Rouge, La).

Of course, the logistics of Miles' return to the field presents some possibly awkward moments. Ed Orgeron, whom Miles hired in 2015 as his defensive line coach, is now heading a team Miles coached just last year. There's also the fact LSU plays No. 11 Auburn, whose victory over Miles' team last year caused his termination as head coach.
There's also the fact LSU is on the hook for Miles' buyout, and still has to pay him roughly $8 million over the next five years.
Miles' 2007 team became the first two-loss team (and first team to win two BCS championships) when they beat Ohio State 38-24 in the Superdome.
