October 24, 1896 Tulane W 6–0
November 13, 1896 Ole Miss W 12–4
November 16, 1896 Texas W 14–0

November 28, 1896 Southern Athletic Club W 6–0


Season totals:
Score 136 - 4
Unscored on 5 out of 6 games.


* The 1896 Tigers, with coach Allen Jeardeau, went undefeated and were the SIAA co-champions. The 1896 team was the first LSU team to use the nickname "Tigers". The Tulane game of this year was forfeited during the game due to Tulane having fielded an ineligible player. At the time that the game was declared forfeit, Tulane was leading with a score of 2 to nothing. Due to the forfeiture, the official score was set at LSU 6, Tulane 0 by the game's referee

I think a TD may have only been worth 4 pts.
