LSU vs USC: How to watch game without DirecTV amid dispute with Disney

Moments before a major top-25 college football matchup between LSU and USC , some fans hoping to watch the game on DirecTV were met with a blackout.

The issue is that DirecTV and Disney could not agree to a deal to show Disney-owned content on the TV streaming service. The ESPN family of networks were blacked out on DirecTV in markets where Disney owns the channel. The blackout occurred in the middle of the U.S. Open and prior to the Sunday night primetime game between No. 12 LSU and No. 23 USC.
