Still, LSU rushed for 63 yards on 27 carries in the SEC opener as the offensive line struggled to create holes. LSU also realized it had to use different running plays after the season opener, when the Tigers mostly utilized inside zone because of UCLA's pressure. They have added more sweeps, counters and pre-snap motions.

That puts him a mere five-points short of a perfect 21-0 record at Michigan Stadium. Longtime newspaper veteran Jim Tomlin is a copy editor and writer with SaturdayDownSouth.com. Georgia didn’t really do anything spectacular against South Carolina in Week 2 of 2006. Just three field goals, a safety and a lone touchdown was plenty to topple coach Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks 16-0 at Williams-Brice Stadium. Alabama won the title game 21-0 and has gone on to win every game against LSU since. The Tigers beat No. 2 Alabama in overtime 9-6 in an epic defensive battle.

When was the last time each SEC team got shut out at home?

This was also the last time the Tigers faced an unranked Alabama team. It’s easy to forget that LSU actually won back-to-back games in this series back in the early goings of Saban’s tenure at Alabama. His team in 2010 was likely the weakest he’s had at Alabama in the final season with Greg McElroy at quarterback, and the Tigers took advantage, handing the Tide its second lost of the season. Before that win in 2019, Alabama had rattled off eight-straight wins in the series. To find the last LSU victory, we have to go back to 2011 when the two teams also met as unbeaten squads in November.

The Sept. 9, 2017 game was the last time Buckeyes fans left Ohio Stadium without a win, a span of 23 games. That was the game where Mayfield, the eventual Heisman winner and No. 1 pick, planted the flag in the turf or at least attempted to. The first night game did not precisely draw tons of fans, though, only being played in front of 7,500 people. JaMarcus Russell torched the Tide in this game, completing 18 of 21 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

When was the last time Ohio State football lost at home?

Versatile backup Charles Turner also could play after a two-game absence. The first-year offensive staff should improve with experience. The coaches have emphasized pad level and aggressiveness this week, trying to help the players knock defenders off the line of scrimmage. NIU lost two “home” games that were played at Soldier Field in 2011 and 2012. So South Carolina claims those ended the streak for NIU even though the games weren’t on campus. Northern Illinois hasn’t played a ranked team at home since 2003, when it beat No. 15 Maryland in the season opener.

The Crimson Tide have only lost six home games in the Nick Saban era and three of those came in 2007, his first season at the helm. Alabama’s most recent home loss was in 2012 when No. 15 Texas A&M edged the No. 1 Tide in Tuscaloosa. Here’s a look at the FBS teams—ranked for your pleasure—that have a winning percentage of 90 or better at home since 2011 and the teams tasked with visiting them in 2014. Well, if you were thinking Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Texas, Boise State, Wisconsin, Florida, TCU or Notre Dame, you’d be wrong. Though those teams all have excellent home records over the last decade, they aren’t even in the top 10 over the last three seasons.

How the SEC Saved Night Games in College Football

This was important because each school was much closer geographically and saw football as their most important sport. West Coast game between Rutgers and USC on a Saturday morning? In a duel between future top-10 NFL draft picks in Joe Burrow[/autotag] and Tua Tagovailoa, the passers combined for more than 800 yards and seven passing touchdowns.

Auburn’s players and coaches then posed on the field smoking cigars. It led, of course, to a second matchup at the end of the season when the teams played in a rematch for the BCS national championship. Louisiana State University is known for many things in college football. Nothing is more imposing than Saturday night games inside Tiger Stadium, however. Since 1999, the team that rushed for more yards has won 16 times in the series.

The Razorback Football Situation Has Gotten Ugly and It May Be a While Before It Isn't

While it’s possible, the defense has to play a lot better than it showed vs. Oregon and in the winning effort vs. Minnesota in the opener. Ohio Stadium hasn’t seen too many losses from the Ohio State football team. This post was originally published on July 25, 2019, but football season is upon us, which means Saturday nights in Death Valley are returning. Although, if we're honest, there's one thing we want to see. A home-and-home series with the Clemson Tigers to see which team's stadium truly earns the nickname "Death Valley."

The Tigers have been hosting regular-season games in the evening since 1931, first beginning due to scheduling conflicts between other schools and the LSU fans around Baton Rouge. The ‘Bama was a very different program in Saban’s first season in 2007. They finished that year just 7-6 with a loss to Louisana-Monroe. But Alabama showed a glimpse of what it would become in this game, taking the No. 3 team in the country to the wire. After LSU’s final practice this week, Orgeron was asked whether he had seen anything that gave him confidence LSU would have more success running the ball.

Instead of playing in the Southern Conference, which was made up of teams from as far away as Maryland and Virginia, LSU would be part of a conference with many of the current SEC teams. The group included Alabama, the Florida Gators, Tennessee Volunteers, Mississippi State Bulldogs, South Carolina Gamecocks and Ole Miss Rebels. And though we were a long way off from hearing "It's Saturday Night in Death Valley," it would only take a few more years for the tradition to take hold. Heard led the way on extensive stadium renovations that significantly increased the capacity of the stadium. In 1932, the Southeastern Conference's formation gave LSU like-minded opponents who were close in proximity.

We knew the Tigers were good, but this was the night we realized just how good. LSU understands it needs to spark the rushing attack after gaining just 320 yards rushing, which equals 21% of its offensive production. Six Southeastern Conference players — including Auburn running backs Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter — have more yards rushing than LSU’s team. Rohan Davey remembers the last time LSU lost to Auburn at home. He was a redshirt sophomore quarterback that day in 1999, and nothing went well in a 41-7 loss, one of the most lopsided games in the history of the rivalry.

Georgia: 1995

Almost lost quite a few, the Auburn game in 2005 when their kicker missed five field goals comes to mind as well. Obviously, LSU fell to Tennessee in 2005 but that was a Monday night. So I guess the 2002 Alabama game (31-0) was the last time.

Tommy Tuberville was leading the Rebels when Auburn blanked Ole Miss 17-0 in the second game of the season. Ole Miss has been shut out three times on the road since then, including later in the 1998 season. Coined a "Game of the Century," it was the first time two Southeastern Conference football teams came into a regular season matchup undefeated and ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the nation.

As a matter of policy, Sports Reference only reports the results of games as played on the field. See our list of forfeits and vacated games for more details. No one knocked off coach Ed Orgeron[/autotag] and LSU that season as the team finished 15-0 and earned the program’s third national title this century. The Tigers are still searching for their first win over ‘Bama since. Alabama has fairly inarguably been LSU’s biggest rival in football over the last 15 years since the program hired former Tigers national title-winning coach Nick Saban. But LSU hasn’t struggled to run the ball this much since the 1999 season.

The first time the school hosted a team with their lights came on October 3, 1931, when the Spring Hill Badgers visited Baton Rouge. Unfortunately for both teams, neither won the West as rival Auburn captured a national championship with Cam Newton that season. In what was dubbed the “Game of the Century” heading in, neither team crossed the plane as each traded field goals. This game went to overtime tied at six before Drew Alleman kicked the game-winning field goal. The following is a complete list of LSU Tigers football seasons through the 2021 season.
