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.
We don’t have to reach too far back in the memory bank for this one. Georgia ran over the Vols 41-0 last season, Tennessee’s second-worst loss in series history. Again, a team was shut out at home during a coach’s farewell tour, this time Butch Jones. Would you believe this is in the middle of another season under a coach on the way out?
The Tigers Hunt at Night: LSU's History After Sunset
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 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.
When is the last time LSU lost on a Saturday night at home?
The best home team in the Pac-12 over the last three years, Stanford’s only hiccup came in 2011 when it lost to No. 6 Oregon. The Cardinal are 14-0 over the last two seasons at home including wins over No. 2 Oregon and No. 9 UCLA last season and No. 1 Oregon and No. 2 USC in 2012. The first of three teams with a 20-1 record at home since 2011, South Carolina’s only home loss came three years ago when it got nipped by unranked Auburn 16-13. The last time the Ducks lost more than one home game in a season was in 2007, when they fell to both unranked Oregon State and No. 6 Cal. The last of the four FBS teams with a 19-2 record at home since 2011, Clemson’s most recent home loss came in 2013 when it was ranked No. 3 and got drilled by No. 5 Florida State.
LSU plays their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. More than two decades later, Davey sees some of the same issues this season. LSU, a program once built on running the ball, is averaging 80 yards rushing per game before it hosts No. 22 Auburn at 8 p.m. Saturday inside Tiger Stadium, a prime-time matchup that provides the toughest test yet for an offense trying to establish the run. Georgia Southern enters its inaugural season in the FBS ranks with one of the best home records in college football. The Eagles went 8-0 at home in 2011, lost to Appalachian State in 2012 and then dropped a game to Furman in 2013.
When was the last time LSU beat Alabama?
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.

Similar to 1999, the issues may stem from a variety of factors. (Cregg has sued the school for breach of contract.) It replaced him with Brad Davis. While Davis is an accomplished coach, the linemen had to adjust to his style.
Ohio State loses at home for first time since 2017
Neither team has won without eclipsing the 100-yard threshold. Even when LSU changed its offensive philosophy in 2019, Clyde Edwards-Helaire sealed a win by rushing for 120 yards in the second half. The Buckeyes’ only two home losses in the last three years both came in 2011, when interim head coach Luke Fickell led the team its first losing season since 1988. The two defeats were to No. 21 Penn State (20-14) and unranked Michigan State (10-7).
Jimbo Fisher's Texas A&M Aggies and the Georgia Bulldogs are always a strong choice for a primetime night game in SEC Country. Then, of course, there's any visit from former LSU coach Nick Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide. Some school's results have been altered by retroactive NCAA penalties.
No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 LSU meet on Saturday with major SEC and College Football Playoff implications on the line. These teams are no strangers to each other or to big stakes–the West division rivals have been going at each other for over a century.

But a nearly flawless night from Burrow and a three-touchdown game from Clyde Edwards-Helaire[/autotag] proved to be enough as LSU upset the Crimson Tide on the road. Conference division title or championship game berth†Indicates Bowl Coalition, Bowl Alliance, BCS, or CFP / New Years' Six bowl. There's some times we have holes, some time we don't have holes. Those Soldier Field games were barely even neutral site games for NIU. The Big Ten “visitors” had more fans than NIU in both of those games. In fact, Hoke was 14-0 at home coming into last season only to lead the Wolverines to losses against Nebraska (17-13) and No. 3 Ohio State (42-41).
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.
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.
