NOTEBOOK LSU s Defense Has Allowed Just 8 TDs In 7 Games LSU s defense has given up just eight touchdowns in the first seven games of the season. The eight TDs leads the SEC and the nation. The Tigers are fifth overall in the country, allowing just 15.0 points per game and have given up just 105 points total which is third, holding all seven opponents this season to 21 points or fewer, with six scoring 18 or fewer. Tiger Defense Ranks Among Top 5 in SEC in Scoring, Rushing and Total Defense With a highly-touted group returning this year, the LSU defense has been one of the best in the conference and nationally overall, as the Tigers have only given up eight touchdowns which leads the nation. Overall, LSU ranks No. 4 in the SEC in scoring defense (15.0 points per game), No. 3 in the SEC in total defense (313.9 yards per game), and No. 2 in rushing defense (105.4 yards per game). Opposing teams are averaging 4.8 yards per play, with 2.9 yards per carry average on the ground. Leonard Fournette Sets Single-Game Rushing Record in Win After missing three games this season due to injury, including the previous two, junior running back Leonard Fournette returned to the starting lineup against Ole Miss and needed 16 carries to amass 284 yards to set the single-game LSU rushing record, passing Alley Broussard s record of 250, to go along with three touchdowns. Fournette had scoring runs of 59, 76 and 78 yards in the win over the Rebels, which moved him into a tie for 10th place in the SEC, while his 17.8 yard average is the second-most in an SEC game in conference history.

LSU To Face A Former Head Coach For 13th Time; Tigers Are 5-7 Against Former Coaches When the Tigers line up against and Nick Saban on Saturday, it will mark the 13th time in LSU football history that a former LSU head coach will be on the opposing sidelines as head coach of the other team. LSU is 5-7 in those games. The only two coaches it s ever occurred against were Paul Dietzel in 1966 and 1973 when he was head coach at South Carolina and Saban in the last nine years. LSU is 3-7 vs. Saban, winning 41-34 in Tuscaloosa in 2007, 24-21 in Baton Rouge in 2010, and 9-6 in overtime in 2011. LSU lost 27-21 in overtime in Tiger Stadium in 2008, 24-15 in Tuscaloosa in 2009, 21-0 in the 2012 BCS National Championship Game, 21-17 in overtime in 2012 in Baton Rouge, 38-17 in 2013 in Tuscaloosa, 20-13 in overtime in 2014 in Baton Rouge, and 30-16 last year in Tuscaloosa. LSU won both games against Dietzel, beating South Carolina, 28-12, in Tiger Stadium to open the 1966 season and followed by a 33-29 win over the Gamecocks in Columbia in 1973. Dietzel coached at LSU for seven years before leaving the Tigers for Army after the 1961 season. Dietzel coached at Army for four years before joining South Carolina in 1966. Dietzel s first game as head coach of the Gamecocks came against LSU. Ironically, it was Dietzel, still serving as the Tiger head coach, suggesting to then LSU AD Jim Corbett in 1959 that LSU schedule a four-game series with South Carolina with games being played in 1960-61 and 1965-66. The 1966 game became an immediate sellout once it was announced the Dietzel was joining South Carolina as its head coach. LSU- Ties In addition to current head coach Nick Saban being the former head man at LSU, there are several other LSU- ties defensive line coach Karl Dunbar is played at LSU from 1986-89 and then later coached the defensive line for the Tigers in 2005 strength coach Scott Cochran is a graduate of LSU and served on the strength staff for the Tigers from 2001 to 2004 s director of equipment Jeff Springer is a 2001 graduate of LSU and worked as an equipment manager for the Tigers from three years from 2003-05.

The Tigers are 45-38-1 since the team s 1962 debut in a win at No. 5 Georgia Tech 10-7, holding a 5-5 record on the network in the last 10 outings. At home, LSU is 21-13-1, winning six of the last eight at home. Etling-Fournette Third LSU Duo To Pass-Run For 200 Yards In Same Game In Saturday s win against Ole Miss, LSU running back Leonard Fournette ran for a single-game record 284 yards, while quarterback Danny Etling went 19-for-28 for 204 yards and a touchdown. It marked just the second time in LSU history that the team had a quarterback throw over 200 yards while having a running back rush for 200 since Fournette had 212 yards on the ground while Brandon Harris had 261 in the air in the Texas Bowl. The first came when Kevin Faulk had 201 yards and Herb Tyler had 214 in 1998 against. Arden Key Second in SEC in Sacks, Ranks No. 1 in Nation in Sacks Per Game LSU sophomore OLB/DE Arden Key is second the SEC and ranks No. 1 in the nation in sacks per game with 8.0 and 1.14 respectively. Key has registered at least a.5 sack in six of seven games this year as he is now in the top 10 in the single-season category at LSU all-time, four away from Oliver Lawrence s record of 12 set back in 1989. His 9.0 tackles for loss ranks ninth in the SEC. Key also leads the SEC and ranks ninth in the nation in fumbles forced with three. Key is averaging 1.14 sacks per game which is tops nationally, while.43 forced fumbles per game is ninth and his 1.3 tackles for loss is 36th. Another LSU Game Impacted Due to Weather LSU had a contest impacted by weather for the third time in two years as the game, originally scheduled for October 8 was postponed indefinitely, before an agreement was reached by both schools to move the contest to Baton Rouge on November 19. This time, Hurricane Matthew forced the postponement of the game, as the agreement meant that LSU s opponent that day (South ) and s opponent (Presbyterian) were bought out to allow the game to happen. LSU will now travel to in 2017 and 2018. Last year, LSU s home-opener against McNeese State was canceled just four minutes into the contest because of lightning. Then, in week 5, horrific flooding in the state of South Carolina forced LSU to host the Gamecocks in Tiger Stadium in a contest that was originally scheduled to be played in Columbia. The following is a look at some other notable weather-impacted LSU games through the years: Date Game Impact Weather Issue Dec. 5, 1964 vs. Game moved from Oct. 3 to Dec. 5 Hurricane Hilda Sept. 10, 2005 vs. Arizona State Game moved from Baton Rouge to Tempe, Ariz.

It was the fourth most by an LSU running back in any half, while he became just the sixth LSU player in team history to have 100 or more yards in each half, adding 113 more in the second. Here s a look at LSU rushers with the most rushing yards by half, and those that had 100 yards in each half: Most Rushing Yards in a Half Rank Yards Player Half Date Opponent (Total yards) 1. 190 Kevin Faulk 2nd Sept. 7, 1996 Houston (246) 2. 185 Rondell Mealey 2nd Dec. 28, 1997 Notre Dame (222) 3. 173 Kevin Faulk 1st Dec. 29, 1995 Michigan State (234) 4. 171 Leonard Fournette 1st Oct. 22, 2016 Ole Miss (284) 5. 169 Leonard Fournette 1st Sept. 19, 2015 Auburn (228)

The 35-point win over Mizzou was the second largest margin of victory for a LSU head coach in his first game with the Tigers. Nick Saban has the largest margin of victory in a debut, beating Western Carolina 58-0. However, the 87 points scored by Orgeron s LSU s teams in the first two games bests Saban s 86 in his first two games in charge. He s the first LSU football coach in the SEC era to wins his first two games by 30 or more points and the first coach to win his first three by double-digits. LSU Scores More Points Than Plays Run In Southern Miss Win For the fourth time in program history, the LSU offense produced more points (45) than plays run (42) in a win over an opponent. Against Southern Miss last Saturday night, the Tigers scored touchdowns on drives of three plays twice and one play twice, scoring 35 unanswered points in the second half to pull away for good. Below is a look at the other times LSU had more points than plays: Date Opponent Result LSU Points LSU Plays Oct. 12, 1991 Arkansas State W 70 62 Oct. 15, 2016 Southern Miss W 45 42 Sept. 7, 2013 UAB W 56 54 Sept. 15, 2012 Idaho W 63 62 Guice Reaches 1,000 Yards, Ranks in Top 10 In SEC In Rushing, Touchdowns, All-Purpose Yards With a 21-yard rush late in the fourth quarter against Southern Miss, LSU sophomore running back Derrius Guice reached the 1,000 career rushing yard mark, becoming the 46th Tiger in program history to do so and the fastest in LSU history. Guice finished with 162 yards on 16 carries and a pair of scores in the win for LSU, as it was his fourth career 100-yard rushing game and the first time he s earned 100-plus yards and multiple touchdowns in consecutive contests. He needed just 113 attempts to do so in his 18th career game. In the SEC, Guice ranks seventh in rushing, while his 7.96 yards per carry is fourth in the nation. He s third in the conference with seven touchdowns, while his 116.7 all-purpose yards per game is also third. Here is a list of the fastest LSU running backs to 1,000 yards by carry: Rank Player Attempts Career Game Date (Opponent) 1. Derrius Guice 113 18 Oct. 15, 2016 (Southern Miss) 2.

Shuffling The Deck Snake bitten by the injury bug, the LSU offensive line has seen its fair share of changes throughout much of the 2016 season, as four different starting offensive line combinations have been used through six games of the Tigers season. By comparion, there were only three combinations used in 12 total games for LSU last season and four in 13 games in 2014. The most units used in the last 12 seasons was six in 2011, with the fewest being the one group used for every game of the 2008 season. Here s a look at the number of starting offensive line combinations since 2005: Year No. of Starting Offensive Line Combinations Used 2016 4 2015 3 2014 4 2013 3 2012 4 2011 6 2010 5 2009 2 2008 1 2007 2 2006 4 2005 4 Lasting Legacy Of Mike The Tiger After a four-month battle with spindle cell sarcoma, a rare form of soft-tissue cancer, LSU s beloved living tiger mascot Mike VI was humanely euthanized Oct. 11th at the age of 11. Roscoe, soon to become Mike VI, came to LSU at the age of two in 2007 and was the first LSU mascot to make use of the new, $5 million, state-of-the-art habitat on campus next to Tiger Stadium. In a tradition that dates back to 1934, a search for Mike VII is currently underway. Here s a look at notable moments during the reign of each of the previous Mike s in LSU history: Mascot Years Notable Moments Mike I 1936-56 Purchased for $750, was the longest living mascot at 20 years, 115-83-14 record Mike II 1956-58 The shortest reign with two tigers being used that season, 8-12 record Mike III 1958-76 First fooball national title and three SEC titles during reign, 142-50-7 record Mike IV 1976-90 Two SEC championships, 141-63-6 record Mike V 1990-2007 Football national title, five baseball national championships, 120-72-1 record Mike VI 2007-2016 Football national title, baseball national title, 92-30 record LSU Produces Pair of 100-Yard Rushers and 200-Yard Passer vs. Missouri For Just 6th Time in School History LSU s offense produced a pair of 100-yard rushers along with a 200-yard passer in the debut of Ed Orgeron and offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger. Derrius Guice rushed for 163 yards and 3 TDs, Darrel Williams added 130 yards and 3 TDs and Danny Etling threw for 216 yards in the win. Last year, LSU produced a 200-yard passer (Brandon Harris 228 yards) and two 100-yard rushers (Derrius Guice 161 yards; Leonard Fournette 158 yards) in the win over South Carolina. Prior to that, LSU hadn t had done it in an SEC game since 1997 vs. Kentucky when Kevin Faulk rushed for 212 yards, Rondell Mealey had 131 yards and Herb Tyler passed for 213 yards. Overall, LSU s had two 100-yard rushers and a 200-yard passer in only six games in school history. Here s a look at the games that it s happened: Game (Year) 100-Yard Rushers/200-yard Passer Results Missouri (2016) Derrius Guice 163, Darrel Williams 130/Danny Etling 216 W, 42-7 South Carolina (2015) Derrius Guice 161, Leonard Fournette 158/Brandon Harris 228 W, 45-24 Furman (2013) Jeremy Hill 143, Terrence Magee 108/Zach Mettenberger 328 W, 48-16 Kent State (2013) Jeremy Hill 117, Terrence Magee 108/Zach Mettenberger 264 W, 45-13 at Kentucky (1997) Kevin Faulk 212, Rondell Mealey 131/Herb Tyler 213 W, 63-28 State (1982) Dalton Hilliard 183, Garry James 116/Alan Risher 212 W, 55-21
Tre Davious White A Senior CLASS Award Candidate LSU senior Tre Davious White has been selected as one of 30 candidates currently at NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision institutions in contention for the 2016 Senior CLASS Award the organization announced today. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I FBS senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. White, a Shreveport, Louisiana, native majoring in sport administration has been a lock in the LSU defense since his career began in 2013, starting 40 of 42 games since that season.

Racking Up The Yards LSU s 634 yards of total offense against Missouri last week was a new school record for the most yards in an SEC contest, four more than the previous high which was set in 1987 against Ole Miss (630) and 1967 against Mississippi State (630). On the ground, the team s 418 yards were the most in a contest since 1996 against Houston (433), and the most against a conference opponent since 1976 against Ole Miss (426). It was the seventh most yards gained in a single contest all-time at LSU overall. Here s a look at the top 10 games of total offense in LSU history: Rank Date Opponent W/L Score Total O Location 1 9/24/1977 Rice W 77-0 746 Baton Rouge 2 9/2/2000 Western Carolina W 58-0 680 Baton Rouge 3 10/26/2013 Furman W 48-16 672 Baton Rouge 4 9/19/1987 Rice W 49-16 664 Baton Rouge 5 11/1/2003 Louisiana Tech W 49-10 653 Baton Rouge 6 12/29/2015 Texas Tech W 56-27 638 Houston 7 10/1/2016 Missouri W 42-7 634 Baton Rouge 8 10/31/1987 Ole Miss W 42-13 630 Jackson 9 11/18/1967 Mississippi State W 55-0 630 Baton Rouge 10 10/10/2015 South Carolina W 45-24 624 Baton Rouge Six Tigers Honored in 2016 LSU senior Tre Davious White, sophomore Arden Key, freshman Josh Growden, sophomore Derrius Guice, senior Ethan Pocic and junior Leonard Fournette have all earned SEC honors this season. White was named the SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week the second week of the year after he returned a punt 60 yards against Jacksonville State to become the first non-offensive player to score touchdowns in the first two games of the season in LSU history. Key and Growden were instrumental in LSU s 23-20 win over Mississippi State to open conference play as Key was named the SEC s Defensive Lineman of the Week and Growden was named the SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week. Key had five tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss, including a forced fumble and two sacks.

Etling, a transfer from Purdue, has started five straight games for the Tigers and is now 4-1 as LSU s starting quarterback earning wins over JSU, Missouri, Southern Miss and Ole Miss, with the only loss coming at the last second on the road at Auburn. Two Tigers Have Scored Defensive TDs Two current Tigers CB Tre Davious White and LB Kendell Beckwith have scored defensive touchdowns for the Tigers. White scored on a 21-yard interception return against Wisconsin in the season opener this year, while Beckwith scored on a 29-yard interception return against New Mexico State in 2014. LSU has scored at least one defensive TD for the past three years and for 14 of the last 15 seasons going back to 2002. #NFLSU Tigers Lead The Way On Week 1 NFL Rosters Since 2014 Since 2014, the LSU football program has had the most former players on active NFL rosters heading into week one than any program in the nation with a combined 121. In 2016, LSU again leads the way with 43 former players on NFL 53-man squads, topping all other schools for the third-straight season, as it s also the second consecutive year there have been at least 40 Tigers on active rosters. The SEC makes up four of the top five over that span, while being five of six schools with at least 100 players in the NFL over that time.

No. 18 Tradition Passed Down to Tre Davious White A tradition established in 2003 continues as senior cornerback Tre Davious White was voted to wear the No. 18 jersey for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. White was presented the jersey following a vote of the coaching staff and former LSU No. 18s during the Tigers first team meeting of fall camp in 2015 and then again this year. White is one of LSU s leading returners on defense after recording 44 total tackles, with 30 on the solo end and 1.5 tackles for losses. Against Syracuse in the Carrier Dome, White cleared 69 yards in a shade over nine seconds on a punt return for a touchdown in the win over the Orange. Jersey No. 18 was born 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. After his final year with the Tigers, Mauck passed the jersey number down to running back Jacob Hester, who then helped LSU to another national title in 2007. Here is a look at the jersey No. 18s: 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 LSU VS NO 1 TEAMS LSU is 2-11-1 all-time against teams ranked No. 1 in the nation in the Associated Press poll.

In 2016, Fournette rushed for 138 yards in the opener against Wisconsin in Green Bay, 147 yards against Mississippi State, 101 yards at Auburn and 284 yards against Ole Miss to get to 19, matching former Tiger great Dalton Hilliard, one away from tying Charles Alexander and three from tying record holder Kevin Faulk.

The numbers show that since 1960, LSU is 245-64-4 (.781) at night under the lights compared to a 34-25-3 (.573) mark in Tiger Stadium during the day. Since 2000, LSU is 103-15 (.871) overall at home, which includes a 78-9 (.895) mark at night in Tiger Stadium and a 24-6 (.800) record during the day. Prior to 2000, LSU had only won 10 games at home during the day in 32 tries. From 1960 to 1999, LSU posted a 10-19-3 (.359) record at home during the day.

In the last 12 years, a total of 125 true freshmen have seen action for LSU, including 12 in 2016. Of the 125 true freshmen who have played, 40 have started at least once during their freshman season. Most True Freshmen Starters by Year Since 2005 2016 1 (Dee Anderson) 2015: 6 ( Bry Kiethon Mouton, Arden Key, Foster Moreau, Maea Teuhema, Kevin Toliver II, Toby Weathersby) 2014: 6 (Jamal Adams, Malachi Dupre, Leonard Fournette, Davon Godchaux, Brandon Harris, Trey Quinn) 2012: 6 (Kwon Alexander, Vadal Alexander, Reid Ferguson, Jeremy Hill, Lamar Louis, Jalen Mills) 2013: 5 (Rickey Jefferson, Anthony Jennings, Ethan Pocic, Rashard Robinson, Tre Davious White) 2006: 4 (Jacob Cutrera, Richard Dickson, Charles Scott, Keiland Williams) 2010: 3 (Alfred Blue, Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Reid) 2011: 3 (Odell Beckham Jr., James Hairston, Jarvis Landry) 2007: 2 (Drake Nevis, Terrence Toliver) 2008: 2 (Jordan Jefferson, Deangelo Peterson) 2009: 2 (Dominique Allen, Rueben Randle) 2005: 0 LSU Is 66-0 Under When Rushing For 100 Yards and Holding Opponents To Less Than 100 Yards In the last 151 games, LSU s success is easy to predict when it comes to net rushing yards. Get to 100 yards rushing and LSU will more than likely win as the Tigers are 112-15 when that happens. Hold the opponent to fewer than 100 yards and the Tigers are 67-5. 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 66-0. 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 5-0 2016 5-2 0-0 2-2 3-0 3-0 Totals 112-15 5-19 50-28 67-5 66-0 LSU 18-4 When Current Running Back Reaches 100-Yard Mark LSU is 18-4 when a current running back reaches the 100-yard mark. On two occasions, LSU s had two running backs go over the 100-yard mark in the same game (Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice vs. South Carolina, 2015; Guice and Darrel Williams vs. Missouri, 2016). LSU is 15-4 in games when Fournette reaches the 100-yard mark; the Tigers are 4-0 when Guice reaches the 100-yard mark; and LSU is 1-0 when Williams gets to 100 yards. The Aussie Punting Connection Since the 2011 season, LSU has had the unique connection of having an Australian native punter. Brad Wing, a native of Melbourne, was a 2011 first-team All-American and served as the Tigers punter in 2012 as well. Jamie Keehn took over punting duties in 2013 and finished his career with the fourth-best punting average for a career last year as a senior while being a permanent team captain and was named to the 2015 SEC Academic Honor Roll. The next in the pipeline is redshirt freshman punter Josh Growden, a native of Sydney, Australia, who in 2016 was named the SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week and had a career-long 68-yard punt
against Southern Miss which is tied for the longest in the SEC this season. LSU Has FBS Best Record When Trailing in the Fourth Quarter Since 2005 Since 2005, no team has a better record in games when trailing in the fourth quarter. Here is a look at the Top 5 teams with the best record when trailing in the fourth quarter since 2005: Team W-L Record Win Pct. LSU 24-28.461 State 20-41.327 Clemson 19-39.327 Boise State 10-21.323 Texas 19-45.296 Colby Delahoussaye Ranks Fourth in LSU Career FG Percentage Placekicker Colby Delahoussaye is ranked fourth in LSU history for career field goal percentage. He has booted 29-of- 36 field goals for a.806 percentage. He was 11-of-15 in field goal attempts in 2014, including a game-winning, careerlong 50-yard attempt at. As a freshman in 2013, Delahoussaye shattered the LSU record for most consecutive field goals to start a career by converting his first nine attempts. The previous record was seven straight by David Browndyke in 1986. Delahoussaye also ranks third in LSU history for career PATs made at 115. Delahoussaye is now in Top 10 for most field goals made in a career in LSU history. He has 29 through 2016 which is 10th all-time. LSU Features Four Graduates on its Roster Four current LSU football players have already earned their undergraduate degree at the university. Corey Thompson and Colby Delahoussaye earned their degrees in the fall of 2015, while Marcus Roberts and Christian LaCouture received their degrees in the spring and summer of 2016, respectively. Delahoussaye earned his degree in general business, while Roberts, Thompson and LaCouture earned theirs in sports administration. Two Current Tigers Have Accounted For Four Special Teams Touchdowns Two current Tigers have accounted for four special teams touchdowns Tre Davious White with 3 and Leonard Fournette with 1. White has returned three punts for touchdowns, while Fournette returned a kickoff 100 yards for a TD against Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl in 2015.

WE ARE FORBES RANKS LSU TOP 5 In Forbes Magazine s latest study in 2015, LSU was ranked as the nation s fourth-most valuable football team with a worth of $111 million. Forbes ranked LSU as the fourth-most valuable football franchise in 2012, 2013 and the fifth most in 2014, clearly stating LSU is one of college football s most valuable teams. Of LSU, Forbes said, we apply the heaviest weight to money that goes towards academic programming, which includes both football scholarships and direct contributions to university initiatives like a library fund or non-athletic scholarship programs. A shining example of this is LSU, which last year contributed over $7 million to academic programming. Forbes said in its report that athletic value, which is next in the weighting order, is the remaining football profit that goes toward supporting non-revenue sports like softball and soccer. The final two areas, conference and community, are comprised of money earned from playing in bowl games and the economic impact generated by home football games, respectively. LSU set a school-record for attendance in 2014 as the Tigers averaged 101,723 fans for the seven home games. Overall, LSU drew a total of 712,063 fans to Tiger Stadium in 2014, the most combined fans for home games in school history. LSU ATHLETICS TRANSFERS $10 MILLION TO UNIVERSITY The LSU Athletic Department transferred over $10 million last fiscal year to other components of the university for use in supporting LSU s academic, research, public service and other missions, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva announced in August 2015. Our athletic department is sincerely committed to supporting the academic mission of the university, and we re extremely proud to transfer over $10 million this year, Alleva said. These funds provide vital resources for our students, faculty and staff, and they help to sustain LSU as one of the top research institutions in the country. The athletic department has contributed a total of $43.5 million to the LSU-Baton Rouge campus over the past five fiscal years. Beginning in 2012, the athletic department has annually presented $7.2 million to the university in accordance with the Athletics Fund Transfer Policy approved by the LSU Board of Supervisors. The policy states that in years in which LSU Athletics yields a surplus, a portion of the surplus in addition to the $7.2 million may be provided to the university. The surplus produced by the athletic department in fiscal year 2014-15 will allowed an additional $2.85 million to be channeled to the university, creating a total fund transfer last year of $10.05 million. LSU ATHLETICS FEATURES ACADEMIC CENTER THAT IS A MODEL OF EXCELLENCE LSU, in particular the efforts of the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes, is one of eight colleges and universities nationwide being honored by University Business magazine in its Spring 2016 Models of Excellence recognition program. Sponsored by Higher One, a leading provider of financial services to college and university campuses across the U.S., the Models of Excellence program recognizes innovative approaches to encouraging and nurturing student success on campus. Since the launch of the CCACSA in 2001, LSU s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) has continued an upward trend each year, which includes its most recent score of 84 percent, an all-time high for the school. The 84 percent is up significantly from the school s first score of 67 percent in 2005. LSU has also gone from a GSR score of 69 percent in 2008 to a score of 84 in 2015, which represents one of the best improvements in the Southeastern Conference during that span. LSU FOOTBALL RATED AS NATION S NINTH MOST VALUABLE PROGRAM LSU is rated as college football s ninth most valuable program according to a study done by Ryan Brewer, a finance profession at Indiana University-Purdue University. Brewer, who also had LSU ranked No. 9 a year ago, had his rankings published today in the Wall Street Journal as well as online at wsj.com. According to Brewer, the LSU football program has a value of 612.30 million dollars, which puts it firmly among the Top 10 programs in the nation. Ohio State is listed No. 1 with a value of 946.61 million, followed by Texas (885.05 million), Michigan (811.30 million), Notre Dame (723.59 million) and (694.87). The ranking of other SEC teams in Brewer s study include Tennessee No. 12 at 401.98 million, South Carolina No. 14 (398.18 million), Texas A&M No. 17 (359.14 million), Auburn No. 19 (319.32 million), Arkansas No. 20 (311.85 million), Ole Miss No. 32 (216.20 million), Kentucky No. 34 (208.00 million), Missouri No. 51 (108.88 million), Mississippi State No. 53 (103.03 million), and Vanderbilt No. 68 (55.64 million). LSU RANKED TENTH IN ACADEMIC POLL OF TOP 25 FOOTBALL TEAMS When it comes to measuring success of the nation s top football programs both in the classroom and on the playing field, LSU finds itself among an elite group of schools that are excelling both areas. In a poll conducted by Washington D.C.-area think tank New America and published in Time Magazine, the results took into account a teams national ranking based on the College Football Playoff Standings and its graduation success rate (GSR). LSU was ranked No. 20 in the final College Football Playoff Standings and were No. 10 among all college football teams in the Top 25 in GSR score. Combine the two polls and LSU finds itself sitting at No. 15 in the nation, which ranks third among all Southeastern Conference schools. is first among league schools with a combined ranking of No. 2 followed by Ole Miss, who came in at No. 11. Other SEC schools in the combined Top 25 include at No. 17, and Tennessee at No. 23. In the academic-only ranking for the Top 25 teams, LSU s No. 10 placement is second in the SEC behind only, who checked in at No. 6. Clemson was ranked No. 1 in the football playoff poll, while Northwestern was No. 1 in the academic poll.
