BY THE NUMBERS 2LSU has allowed only two touchdowns in the fourth quarter of its seven SEC games this year. Only Mississippi State and Ole Miss have scored fourth quarter touchdowns against the Tigers. Overall, LSU has given up only 18 fourth quarter points in its seven league games (Mississippi State 7, Ole Miss 8, Alabama 3). 4 The Tigers are 72-0 when rushing for 100 yards and holding opponents to less than 100 yards. In the last 163 games, LSU is 123-19 when rushing for 100 yards. When holding opponents to fewer than 100 yards, the Tigers are 73-5. 4 The Tigers have held opponents to 11 fourthquarter points in the last six games against Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. 4 On back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter against Tennessee, QB Danny Etling surpassed the 4,000-yards career passing mark at LSU and RB Derrius Guice became the fifth Tiger to have back-to-back seasons with 1,000 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. 4 CB Kevin Toliver II recorded his first career sack on Tennessee s first possession of the game. 18 The number of consecutive seasons that LSU has earned eight wins. Eighteen straight seasons reaching the mark is a school-record. LSU currently leads all Power 5 schools with 18 straight 8-win seasons. 30 Darrel Williams is 30 rushing yards away from reaching 700 for the season. Only two other times in school history (1976 and 2016) has LSU featured a 1,000-yard rusher and a 700-yard rusher in the same backfield. Williams and Guice can make it three if Williams reaches 700 yards this week.

Ed Orgeron Head Coach @Coach_EdOrgeron Overall Record: 30-32 LSU Record: 14-5 (Second year) Ed Orgeron, who led the Tigers to a 5-2 mark as interim coach over the final two months of the 2016 season was named LSU s permanent head football coach on Nov. 26, 2016, two days after the Tigers defeated Texas A&M, 54-39 to finish the regular season with a 7-4 mark. Orgeron, a native of Larose, Louisiana, is LSU s 33rd head football coach, and the first Louisiana native to serve as head coach of the Tigers since West Monroe native Jerry Stovall held the position for four seasons in the early 1980s. Orgeron, who has also served as head coach at Ole Miss and Southern Cal, is 12-4 in his past 16 games as a head coach. Overall, Orgeron has a 22-29 overall mark as a collegiate head coach, which includes a 6-2 record at LSU and a 6-2 mark as Southern Cal s interim coach in 2013. Of Orgeron s six wins in his LSU debut season, four came against Southeastern Conference foes and all were by double-digits. In his first game as LSU s permanent head coach, Orgeron guided the Tigers to a 29-9 win over No. 13 Louisville and its Heisman Trophy quarterback Lamar Jackson in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl. The win against Louisville capped a remarkable turnaround for the Tigers under Orgeron, who assumed the role as interim coach of the Tigers a day after a disappointing 18-13 setback at Auburn. Orgeron wasted little time in getting the attention of the Tigers as he immediately instilled energy and enthusiasm into the program, shortened practices with crisp, high intensity workouts, kept the players fresh with more time in the meeting room and held the players accountable for all areas of the program. With the One Team. One Heartbeat motto, the Tigers seemingly became a different team overnight and the results that LSU sought soon followed. As the head coach of the Tigers, Orgeron said he was going to flip the script and he assigned a theme for the daily practices. LSU s practices have a descriptive name for each day of the week, one of the ways that Orgeron and his staff hold the players accountable and focused both prior to and during the workout. The daily practice nicknames are as follows: Tell the Truth Monday, Competition Tuesday, Turnover Wednesday, No Repeat Thursday and Focus Friday. Orgeron s first duty as interim head coach was to appoint veteran assistant and former LSU quarterback Steve Ensminger from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The move paid immediate dividends as Ensminger injected life into the Tiger s offense by diversifying the play calling and bringing a culture of inclusion to the offensive staff room. In eight games under Orgeron, LSU set offensive records for most yards in an SEC game (634 vs. Missouri), longest scoring play from scrimmage (Derrius Guice 96-yard TD run vs. Arkansas), and twice set the school single-game rushing record (Leonard Fournette 284 yards vs. Ole Miss, Derrius Guice 285 yards vs. Texas A&M). Defensively, LSU held opponents scoreless for 15 of 32 quarters under Orgeron and limited the opposition to an average of 15.3 points per game over the eight contests. In 12 games, LSU allowed only 16 touchdowns all season, which led the nation. The Tigers also gave up just 1.3 TDs a contest, also first nationally. Orgeron originally joined the Tiger staff in 2015 as defensive line coach, before adding the title of recruiting coordinator in the spring of 2016. Prior to joining the LSU staff, Orgeron s last coaching stop came at Southern Cal where he served as recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach for the Trojans for four years (2010-13). Orgeron was elevated to interim head coach at USC for the final eight games of the 2013 season, leading the Trojans to a 6-2 mark over that span. Orgeron served two stints at Southern Cal, the first as the Trojans defensive line coach from 1998 to 2004. Orgeron coached under Paul Hackett at USC for three years from 1998 to 2000 and was one of just a handful of coaches retained by Pete Carroll when he took over as the Trojans head coach in 2001.

Rivals.com and Sporting News named him the 2004 National Recruiter of the Year. On the field, Orgeron was part of a Southern Cal staff that led the Trojans to a 12-1 mark and an AP National Championship in 2003 and a 13-0 record and another national title in 2004. Orgeron left USC in 2005 to become the head coach at Ole Miss, where he went 10-25 in three years with Rebels from 2005-07. Orgeron spent the 2008 season coaching the defensive line for the New Orleans Saints and then joined Tennessee as defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator in 2009. He returned to Southern Cal following the 2009 season. Orgeron made a name for himself as a top defensive line coach at the University of Miami from 1988-92, where he coached eight All-Americans, including NFL first rounders Cortez Kennedy, Russell Maryland and Warren Sapp. In 1988, he was a graduate assistant at Miami, working with the defensive line. During his tenure, the Hurricanes won the national championship twice (1989 and 1991), finished second in the AP poll once (1988) and third twice (1990 and 1992) while appearing in five New Year s Day bowls (1989 Orange, 1990 Sugar, 1991 Cotton, 1992 Orange, 1993 Sugar). Orgeron also was a graduate assistant at Northwestern (La.) State, his alma mater, in 1984 and McNeese State in 1985, working with the defensive line at both schools, then was an assistant strength coach at Arkansas for two years (1986-87). As a player, Orgeron was a four-year starter on the defensive line for Northwestern State, captaining the Demons as a senior. He received his bachelor s degree in liberal arts from Northwestern State in 1984. He starred in football, basketball and track at South Lafourche High in Galliano, La. On the big screen, Orgeron played himself in the 2009 Oscar-nominated movie, The Blind Side. Born July 27, 1961, he and his wife, Kelly, have three sons, Tyler, and twins Parker and Cody. Tyler is a member of the LSU football support staff, while twins Parker and Cody are entering their second season as part of the McNeese State football team.

In Bible s first meeting with the Tigers in 1917, he led the Aggies to a 27-0 win over LSU. 4 When LSU played Texas A&M in the 1944 Orange Bowl, the team went to Miami by train and automobiles. The team returned to Baton Rouge in 18 used cars and most of them ran out of fuel stamps before making it back to campus. 4 Former Tiger Jerry Stovall made his collegiate debut against Texas A&M, a 9-0 win in 1960. Stovall rushed for 22 yards, punted 11 times for a 40.9 average, returned a punt six yards and a kickoff 16 yards and made a huge stop on what appeared to be an Aggie touchdown on a punt return. LSU coach Paul Dietzel said of Stovall, his debut was as impressive as any I ve ever seen by a sophomore. 4 Former Tiger Doug Moreau kicked the game-winning 34-yard field goal in a 9-6 win over Texas A&M to open the 1964 season. Moreau also caught six passes for 101 yards as LSU debuted its new offense a flankertype attack against the Aggies. 4 LSU snapped Texas A&M s 7-game winning streak, the longest in the nation at the time, with a 13-12 victory to open the 1968 season. With a 5-8, 160-pound quarterback named Fred Haynes starting for the first time of his career, the Tigers upset the 13th-ranked Aggies in Tiger Stadium. 4 Texas A&M scored the go-ahead TD with 19 seconds left to beat the Tigers, 20-18, to open the 1970 season. It was the first time that LSU started 0-1 under Charles McClendon. LSU re-grouped and went on to post a 9-3 overall mark and claim the SEC title with a 5-0 league record. 4 The Tommy Hodson era at LSU opened with a 35-17 win over Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium in 1986 in what was the first meeting between the teams since 1975. Hodson was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for 193 yards and a score in the LSU upset of the No. 7-ranked Aggies. 4 Thirth-four-year old Mike Archer s head coaching debut came in 1987 against Texas A&M as the Tigers posted a 17-3 win over the 15th-ranked Aggies in College Station. LSU went on to go 10-1-1 and finish the year ranked No. 5 in the nation. 4 In a 1988 LSU win over Texas A&M a bank of lights went out in Tiger Stadium during a goal line stand by the Tigers. LSU s Texas A&M Ties 4 LSU tight end coach Steve Ensminger served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Texas A&M from 1994-96. 4 The Aggies were 25-9-1 during Ensminger s three years in College Station, which included a 10-0-1 mark in 1994 and a 9-3 record in 1995. 4 LSU analyst Steve Kragthorpe coached at Texas A&M for four years from 1997-2000, helping the Aggies to the Big 12 title in 1998. 4 LSU offensive line coach Jeff Grimes served as a graduate assistant coach with the Aggies in 1996-97 and earned his master s degree at A&M. 4 LSU senior linebacker Corey Thompson s father, Tony Thompson, played wide receiver at Texas A&M in the late 1980s. Eight-Win Season Streak Extended to 18 The Longest Streak Among Power 5 Schools 4 With a win over Tennessee, LSU extended its streak of consecutive eight-win seasons to 18. 4 LSU currently has won at least eight games every year dating back to 2000. 4 LSU s streak of 18 straight seasons with at least eight wins is tied with Oklahoma in Power 5 schools and ranks behind only Boise State, who has won 8 games for 19 straight years, in the FBS. 4 The streak is also the longest streak in the history of the SEC, leading Tennessee 16 (1989-2004); Florida 14 (1990-2003); Georgia 13 (1997-2009); Alabama 13 (1971-83). LSU Goes Into November Games In Top 25 For 58th Time in 61 Games Dating Back To 2002 4 LSU brings a Top 25 ranking into a game in November for the 58th time in 61 tries, a streak that dates back to November of 2002. 4 Starting with the Bluegrass Miracle win over Kentucky on November 9 when LSU was ranked No. 16 in the nation, the Tigers have played 55 of their 58 games in November in the Top 25. 4 LSU is 43-18 in November games since the 2002 season, which includes a 40-17 in games in which they were ranked. 4 The only three games LSU played in November going back to 2002 unranked came in 2008 at Arkansas (L, 31-30); 2014 at Texas A&M (W, 23-17) and 2015 vs. Texas A&M (W, 19-7). Guice Becomes Fourth LSU Player with Back-To-Back Seasons of 1,000-Yards 4 Junior RB Derrius Guice surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on Saturday night in Tennessee. 4 Guice is just the fifth player in LSU history to record 1,000 rushing yard and 10 rushing touchdowns in backto-back seasons. 4 Kevin Faulk is the only player in LSU history to have 1,000 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns three consecutive years, doing so from 1996-98. 4 Here s the list of LSU players who have accomplished such a feat: Years Player 2014-15 Leonard Fournette 1996-98 Kevin Faulk 1984-85 Dalton Hilliard 1977-78 Charles Alexander Etling Has Eyes Set on 4,000 Career Passing Yards 4 When senior Danny Etling took the first snap against BYU, he became the most veteran LSU quarterback in terms of collegiate starts since Herb Tyler in 1998. 4 Etling is 15-6 as LSU s starting quarterback. The LSU graduate has guided the Tigers to wins over Jacksonville State, Missouri, Southern Miss, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Louisville in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl, BYU, Chattanooga, Syracuse, Florida, Auburn and Tennessee.
4 Etling surpassed 1,000 yards for the season against the Gators and 4,000 yards for his career in Baton Rouge. 4 Etling owns 33 career starts (21 at LSU, 12 at Purdue). His 20 consecutive starts at LSU are tied for the fifthmost by a quarterback since 1986. 39 Herb Tyler 10 in 1998, 12 in 1997, 12 in 1996, 3 in 1995 26 Tommy Hodson 11 in 1989, 12 in 1988, 3 in 1987 25 Zach Mettenberger 13 in 2012, 12 in 2013 20 Tommy Hodson 12 in 1986, 8 in 1987 21 Danny Etling 10 in 2016, 11 in 2017 Chark Joins Elite Group With Touchdowns 3 Ways in 2017 4 With a pair of receiving touchdowns against Arkansas, senior WR DJ Chark has now scored touchdowns three different ways this year rushing, receiving and punt returns. 4 Chark is one of only seven players in LSU history to score touchdowns in the same season on the ground, through the air and on a punt return. 4 Kevin Faulk remains the only player in LSU history to score touchdowns four ways in the same year as he did it rushing, receiving, and on both kickoff and punt returns in 1998. 4 Here s a look at the others who scored rushing, receiving and punt returns touchdowns in the same year: Year Player 2017 DJ Chark (1 rush, 2 rec, 2 PR) 2003 Skyler Green (1 rush, 5 rec, 2 PR) 2001 Domanick Davis (9 rush, 1 rec, 1 PR) 1998 Kevin Faulk (12 rush, 3 rec, 1 PR, 1 KOR) 1965 Joe Labruzzo (3 rush, 2 rec, 1 PR) 1958 Johnny Robinson (2 rush, 3 rec, 1 PR) 1950 Kenny Konz (3 rush, 1 rec, 1 PR) White is SEC Leader in Tackles 4 True sophomore linebacker Devin White leads the Tigers in tackles after 11 games this season and has been the team's leading tackler in nine games. 4 White's 114 tackles and average of 10.4 this season leads the Southeastern Conference. 4 The Springhill, Louisiana native has set or tied his career high in tackles in six games this season. 4 White was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Week following performances against Florida, Auburn and Arkansas. Aranda Named Nominee for Broyles Award; Defense Flexes in Fourth Quarter 4 LSU defensive coordinator was selected as a nominee for the Broyles Award, which is given to the nation's top assistant coach. This is the second straight year Aranda has been nominated for the award. 4 LSU's defense has held strong in the fourth quarter of its last five games against No. 21 Florida, No. 10 Auburn, Ole Miss, No. 1 Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. 4 Aranda's defense did not allow a point against the Gators, Tigers, Razorbacks or Vols and gave up just eight points against the Rebels and three points against the Crimson Tide. LSU Scores Historic GSR Rating 4 The University scored an all-time high of 90 percent in the most recent Graduation Success Rate released by the NCAA. 4 The 90 percent rating was up two points from last year's mark and up a staggering 21 point since vice chancellor and director of athletics Joe Alleva took over at LSU. 4 The football team recorded a program-best 78 percent, which is significantly higher than the national average of 44 percent. Tigers Haul in Eight Weekly Honors 4 Following eight weeks of the season, the Tigers have earned a combined eight Southeastern Conference and two national award weekly honors. 4 OL Garrett Brumfield was the named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week following the season opener against BYU. 4 LB Devin White took home SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors after totaling 13 tackles against Florida. 4 White and WR DJ Chark earned SEC Defensive Player and Offensive Player of the Week honors following the win over Auburn.

LB Corey Thompson is second on the team with 5.5 sacks. Twenty Is Magic Number for LSU 4 Get to 20 points and LSU is more than likely going to win, at least that s according to recent history as the Tigers are 23-1 over the past three years when scoring at least 20 points in a game. 4 Dating back to 2015, the only game that LSU has lost when scoring at least 20 points came against Troy this year when the Trojans posted a 24-21 win over the Tigers. LSU was 8-0 in 2015, 8-0 in 2016 and 7-1 this year when scoring at least 20 points.

Guice Nearing 3,000 Career Rushing Yards 4 RB Derrius Guice surpassed the 2,000 career rushing-yards mark in LSU's win over Chattanooga. The Baton Rouge native became the 16th player in LSU history to rush for 2,000 or more yards in a career. 4 Guice passed Leonard Fournette as the most efficient rusher to surpass 2,000 yards as he needed only 271 attempts, 32 fewer than Fournette's 302. 4 Guice moved into the top-10 of LSU's career rushing yard list after a 71-yard performance on the ground against Auburn. 4 A year ago, Guice became the fastest player to reach 1,000 yards.

Gage had two carries for eight yards, while Dillon had a 6-yard run. 4 Through 11 games, LSU wide receivers have accounted for 126 touches (72 receptions, 54 rushes). 4 Russell Gage leads the group with 42 touches (27 rushes, 15 receptions) for 409 yards and three scores, while DJ Chark has 40 touches to his credit (30 receptions, 10 rushes) for 781 yards and three scores. LSU Tight Ends/F-Backs Thriving In New Offense 4 LSU tight ends/f-backs have each week become more involved the passing game for the Tigers as they have combined to catch 29 passes for 292 yards and five touchdowns. 4 Junior Foster Moreau leads the way with 17 catches for 186 yards and three scores, including a career-best 60-yard TD reception against Ole Miss. Foster leads the Tigers in TD receptions (3) and he s third on the team in receptions (14) and receiving yards (180). 4 Senior John David Moore has caught six passes for 51 yards and a TD, while freshman Tory Carter has three catches for 14 yards and a score. Guice, Etling Only LSU Tandem with Multiple 200-Yard Passing/Rushing In Same Game 4 Derrius Guice rushed for 276 yards and Danny Etling threw for 200 yards against Ole Miss to become the first tandem in school history to have multiple 200-yards rushing/passing games in school history. 4 Guice and Etling have combined to do it twice the first time was actually a 300-yard passing/200- yard rushing effort against Texas A&M in 2016. 4 Here s a look at LSU s all-time list of games where the quarterback passed for 200 yards and a running back gained at least 200 yards on the ground: Year Quarterback (Yards) Running Back (Yards) Opponent Results 2017 Danny Etling (200) Derrius Guice (276) at Ole Miss W, 40-24 2016 Danny Etling (324) Derrius Guice (285) at Texas A&M W, 54-39 2016 Danny Etling (204) Leonard Fournette (284) Ole Miss W, 38-21 2015 Brandon Harris (261) Leonard Fournette (212) vs. Texas Tech W, 56-27 1998 Herb Tyler (214) Kevin Faulk (201) Alabama L, 22-16 Guice and Williams Only Pair To Rush For 100+ Yards in Same Game Twice Against SEC Foes 4 Against Ole Miss, Derrius Guice (276 yards) and Darrel Williams (103 yards) became the first pair of running backs to rush for 100+ yards in the same game against SEC opponents twice. 4 The same-game 100+ yard rushing performance has been done 31 times in LSU history, however Guice and Williams are the only ones to do it twice against SEC teams. 4 Last year, the duo accomplished the feat for the first time against Missouri (Guice 163 yards, Williams 130 yards). 4 The following is a look at LSU s all-time list of rushing tandems that have accounted for 100+ yards in the same game twice in a career: Year Running Back Duo (Yards) Opponent Results 2017 Derrius Guice (276), Darrel Williams (103) at Ole Miss W, 40-24 2016 Derrius Guice (163), Darrel Williams (130) Missouri W, 42-7 2013 Jeremy Hill (143), Terrence Magee (108) Furman W, 48-16 2013 Jeremy Hill (117), Terrence Magee (108) Kent State W, 45-13 1997 Kevin Faulk (212), Rondell Mealey (131) at Kentucky W, 63-28 1996 Kevin Faulk (246), Rondell Mealey (161) Houston W, 35-34 1984 Dalton Hilliard (166), Garry James (122) Wichita State W, 47-7 1982 Dalton Hilliard (183), Garry James (116) Florida State W, 55-21 1982 Dalton Hilliard (133), Garry James (128) Oregon State W, 45-7

LSU 2001-2017 49 LSU Had a 100-Yard Rusher In 12 Straight Non-Conference Games 4 LSU's streak of 12 consecutive non-conference games with a 100-yard rusher came to an end against Syracuse after RB Darrel Williams fell eight yards short of the century mark. LSU was 10-2 in those games with the setbacks coming in last year s season-opener against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field and the 2014 Music City Bowl against Notre Dame. 4 The last time LSU failed to have a 100-yard rusher in a non-sec game, prior to the game against Syracuse, came in a 52-0 win over Louisiana-Monroe on September 13, 2014. Weather Impacted Games for LSU Football 4 LSU played a weather-impacted game for the fourth time in three years against BYU. Following the devastating rain from Hurricane Harvey in Houston, the season opener was moved to New Orleans and the Mercedes Benz Superdome. 4 Last year, LSU's game against Florida was relocated to Baton Rouge and moved to Nov. 19 following Hurricane Matthew. In 2015, LSU's home opener against McNeese State was canceled due to a nearly four-hour lightning delay. Then, in week five, horrific flooding in the state of South Caroline forced LSU to host the Gamecocks in Tiger Stadium. 4The following is a look at some other notable weather-impacted LSU games through the years: Date Game Impact Weather Issue Dec. 5, 1964 Florida Moved from Oct. 3 to Dec. 5 Hurricane Hilda Sept. 10, 2005 Arizona State Moved from Baton Rouge to Tempe, Ariz.

Corey Thompson Is the Elder Statesman on Tiger Defense 4 Graduate student Corey Thompson enters his sixth season with the Tigers in 2017 after getting an additional year of eligibility from the NCAA due to missing 2014 and 2016 with injuries. 4 Thompson played as a true freshman in 2012, appearing in 13 games and recording 11 tackles. That year, Thompson played alongside nine defensive players who are currently in the NFL. 4 This season, Thompson will play alongside some LSU true freshmen who were in eighth grade when Thompson saw his first action as an LSU Tiger in 2012. 4 Thompson graduated from LSU in December of 2015 with a degree in sports administration. At the time of Thompson s college graduation, members of LSU s 2017 freshman class were only sophomores in high school. Six Play in 2017 as LSU Graduate 4 During the 2017 season, six Tigers haven taken the field as LSU graduates.

It marked the first time since the tradition began in 2003 that two players have worn the number. 4 The prestigious No. 18 began when, in 2003, quarterback Matt Mauck guided LSU to its first national championship since 1958. His number became synonymous with success both on and off the field as well as a selfless attitude that has become the epitome of being an LSU football player. 4 Here is a look at the previous players to wear No. 18: Years Player Position 2003 Matt Mauck QB 2004-07 Jacob Hester RB 2008-09 Richard Dickson TE 2010 Richard Murphy RB 2011 Brandon Taylor S 2012 Bennie Logan DT 2013 Lamin Barrow LB 2014 Terrence Magee RB 2015-16 Tre Davious White CB CFP POLL - Week 3 RK.

LSU is DBU 4 With two first team All-America defensive backs in 2016, LSU can easily back up its claim as being DBU. With the addition of Tre Davious White and Jamal Adams, LSU has now produced 10 first team All-American defensive backs since 2003. 4 Overall, LSU claims 14 first team All-America defensive backs, including three-time selection Tommy Casanova (1969, 1970, 1971) and two-time pick Corey Webster (2003, 2004). 4 In terms of the NFL, since 2007 LSU has had more defensive backs selected in the NFL Draft (17) than any other team in the nation. Of LSU s 17 NFL Draft picks since 2007, six have been first round picks and five came in either the second or third round. LSU Welcomes Mike VII in 2017 4 LSU introduced the former Harvey as Mike VII on the first day of the fall semester, August 21, after a 10-month search for a new tiger. 4 Mike VII is a Siberian-Bengal male tiger and was donated to LSU from a sanctuary in Okeechobee, Florida, called Wild at Heart Wildlife Center. 4 Mikes IV, V and VI were also donated to LSU from rescue facilities. LSU has not purchased a tiger since Mike III in 1958, and LSU does not support the for-profit breeding of tigers. 4 Here s a look at notable moments during the reign of each of the previous Mike s in LSU history: Mascot Years Notable Moments (Football Record) Mike I 1936-56 Purchased for $750, was the longest living mascot at 20 years (115-83-14) Mike II 1956-58 The shortest reign with two tigers being used those seasons (8-12) Mike III 1958-76 First football national title and three SEC titles during reign, (142-50-7) Mike IV 1976-90 Two SEC championships (141-63-6 ) Mike V 1990-2007 Football national title, five baseball national championships(120-72-1) Mike VI 2007-2016 Football national title, baseball national title (92-30) Mike VII 2017-present (8-3)

Get to 100 yards rushing and LSU will more than likely win as the Tigers are 123-19 when that happens. 4 Hold the opponent to fewer than 100 yards and the Tigers are 73-5. 4 An even more telling stat is that when LSU rushes for 100-plus yards and holds the opponents to fewer than 100 yards, the Tigers are 72-0. 4 The following is a look at LSU s rushing numbers and have the Tigers have fared in those games: Year LSU 100+ LSU 100- Opp 100+ Opp 100- LSU 100+/Opp 100-2005 10-0 1-2 3-1 8-1 7-0 2006 10-0 1-2 5-0 6-2 6-0 2007 11-2 1-0 3-2 9-0 8-0 2008 8-3 0-2 2-5 6-0 6-0 2009 8-0 1-4 7-4 2-0 2-0 2010 11-2 0-0 7-1 5-0 5-0 2011 13-0 0-1 4-1 8-0 9-0 2012 9-1 1-2 4-2 6-1 6-0 2013 10-1 0-2 6-3 4-0 4-0 2014 8-3 0-2 4-4 4-1 4-0 2015 8-1 0-2 3-3 6-0 6-0 2016 8-3 0-1 3-3 5-0 5-0 2017 8-3 - 4-3 4-0 4-0 Totals 123-19 5-20 55-32 73-5 72-0 GAME-BY-GAME HIGHLIGHTS Week One - vs. BYU 4 The LSU defense allowed just 97 total yards in the season opener and -5 yards on the ground. The 97 yards were the fewest since limiting ULM to 93 in 2014. The rushing yards were the fewest allowed since Ole Miss had -50 yards on Oct. 3, 1982. 4 The LSU defense did not allow BYU to cross the 50-yard line. LSU became the fifth FBS team in the last 10 seasons to not allow its FBS opponent to cross midfield. 4 Junior Garrett Brumfield was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week. Brumfield played 70 offensive snaps at left guard and led the Tigers with 12 knockdowns. 4 Seven players caught a pass and ran the ball against the Cougars. It marked the second time in school history that has happened with the other time coming in 1977 against Mississippi State. 4 The LSU offense combined for 296 yards on the ground to extend its streak to 11 straight non-conference games with 100 rushing yards or more. Week Two - vs. Chattanooga 4 RB Derrius Guice surpassed the 2,000-yard career rushing mark in the win. He became the 16th player in LSU history to rush for 2,000 yards or more. The junior passed Leonard Fournette as the most efficient rusher to surpass 2,000 yards as he needed 271 attempts, 32 fewer than Fournette's 302. 4 LSU did not turn the ball over through the first two games of the year. It marked the third time in school history LSU went through the first two games of the season without a turnover. 4 WR DJ Chark returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown against Chattanooga for his first career special teams touchdown. Chark also set a career high with 103
receiving yards for his first 100-yard receiving game. 4 LSU extended its streak of non-conference wins at home to 48. Week Three - at Mississippi State 4 LSU did not fumble the ball against the Bulldogs.

The score just 0!09 in the game marked the quickest LSU score since October 12, 1985 when Norman Johnson scored on an interception 0!08 into the game. 4 It also marked the first time LSU has scored on its first possession of the game since Jordan Jefferson ran for an 73-yard touchdown against Tennessee in 2010. Week Five - vs. Troy 4 TE Foster Moreau caught two touchdowns against the Trojans. Moreau became the first tight end since Richard Dickson in the 2008 BCS National Championship game to catch two touchdowns in a single game. 4 QB Myles Brennan threw his first career touchdown pass in the game. Week Six - at Florida 4 The one-point win against the Gators marked the closest margin in series history with the previous lowest being three. 4 LSU extended its streak to 62 straight games when leading by at least 14 points at any point in a game. 4 LB Devin White was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week after a fourth straight game with double-digit tackles. 4 With OL Toby Weathersby out, LSU played three true freshmen on the offensive line during a time in the game: Saahdiq Charles, Austin Deculus and Ed Ingram. 4 WR Russell Gage led the Tigers in rushing with 52 yards and a touchdown. 4 QB Danny Etling surpassed 3,000 passing yards for his LSU career against the Gators. 4 Ed Orgeron moved to 4-0 following a loss as the head coach of the Tigers. Week Seven - vs. Auburn 4 LSU overcame a 20-0 deficit to complete the largest comeback at home against a Southeastern Conference team in school history. 4 WR DJ Chark totaled 233 all-purpose yards.

Culp was named the SEC Specialist of the Week. Week Nine - at Alabama 4 RB Darrel Williams totaled 83 yards on the ground and the Tigers' lone touchdown. Williams' 54-yard rush, which led to LSU's touchdown was the longest by a Tiger since 2010. 4 P Zach Von Rosenberg averaged 43 yards on seven punts. Von Rosenberg pinned Alabama inside its 10 with a career-long 52-yard punt. 4 PK Connor Culp extended his streak of made field goals to eight straight. 4 RB Derrius Guice passed Joseph Addai to move into sixth place on LSU's career rushing list. 4 LB Devin White once again led the way for LSU with nine tackles on the night.
