With the LSU/Alabama game moved to Primetime, I started thinking about LSU's past games away from Tiger Stadium at night. The only loss that stood out was the 2008 Florida game, with Lee/Hatch at QB. After doing a lot of research, I was shocked at how well LSU has played on the road and in Bowl games, at night, over the last 10 years.

Since LSU lost at No.7 Tennessee (18-26) on September 29, 2001, here are all of the games, over the last 10 years, with a start time of 6:00 pm (CST) or later, played away from Tiger Stadium....LSU is 30-1 in these last 31 games:

09/24/11 at No.16 West Virginia (7:00 pm) Won 47-21
09/15/11 at No.25 Miss State (7:00 pm) Won 19-6
09/03/11 No.3 Oregon - Cowboys Classic (7:00 pm) Won 40-27
01/07/11 No.18 Texas A&M - Cotton Bowl (7:29 pm) Won 41-24
10/09/10 at No.14 Florida (6:30 pm) Won 33-29
09/11/10 at Vanderbilt (6:00 pm) Won 27-3
09/04/10 No.18 North Carolina - Chick-fil-A Classic (7:00 pm) Won 30-24
09/05/09 at Washington (9:30 pm) Won 31-23
12/31/08 No.14 Georgia Tech - Chick-fil-A Bowl (6:30 pm) Won 38-3
10/18/08 at South Carolina (7:00 pm) Won 24-17
10/11/08 AT NO.11 FLORIDA (7:00 pm) LOST 21-51
09/20/08 at No.10 Auburn (6:45 pm) Won 26-21
01/07/08 No.1 Ohio State - BCS Championship (7:00 pm) Won 38-24
08/30/07 at Miss State (7:00 pm) Won 45-0
01/03/07 No.11 Notre Dame - Sugar Bowl (7:00 pm) Won 41-14
12/30/05 No.9 Miami - Chick-fil-A Bowl (6:30 pm) Won 40-3
11/19/05 at Ole Miss (6:45 pm) Won 40-7
10/08/05 at Vanderbilt (6:00 pm) Won 34-6
09/10/05 at No.15 Arizona State (8:15 pm) Won 35-31
10/09/04 at No.12 Florida (6:45 pm) Won 24-21
01/04/04 No.1 Oklahoma - BCS Championship (7:00 pm) Won 21-14
12/06/03 No.5 Georgia - SEC Championship (7:00 pm) Won 34-13
11/15/03 at Alabama (6:45 pm) Won 27-3
10/18/03 at South Carolina (6:45 pm) Won 33-7
09/27/03 at Miss State (8:00 pm) Won 41-6
09/06/03 at Arizona (9:00 pm) Won 59-13
10/12/02 at No.16 Florida (6:45 pm) Won 36-7
01/01/02 No.7 Illinois - Sugar Bowl (7:30 pm) Won 47-34
12/08/01 No.2 Tennessee - SEC Championship (7:00 pm) Won 31-20
10/20/01 at Miss State (8:00 pm) Won 42-0
10/13/01 at Kentucky (6:00 pm) Won 29-25

At Night and since the 2001 loss at Tennessee, LSU has lost once over the last 10 years, on the road, at neutral sites, or in bowl games.

Can you give me Lsu games played at 7pm away from home, with a 3/4th moon and below 55 degrees with wind gusts reaching 10mph?

The contrast in the response to this stat on the rant and on this board is hilarious.

LSU plays better at night, home or away! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that this game is at night.

19 of the teams were ranked. Nice.

However, I'd be willing to bet that Bama at home at night since 2001 would yield a similarly impressive record.

WGAF? Nobody had beaten OU at home in 39 tries until someone did.
