mixed in with a heavy dose of Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams to produce a whopping 634 yards. That’s the most total offense the Fighting Tigers have ever put up against an SEC opponent, and the 418 rushing yards were their most in an SEC game since Oct. 30, 1976, when they racked up 426 against Ole Miss.

LSU had two 100-yard rushers (Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams) and a 200-yard passer (Danny Etling) in the same game for the second time since 2013, and a total of nine players had receptions on the night, including two fullbacks and two tight ends.

LSU did all this without completely revamping its offense and abandoning its identity as a smash-mouth, run-oriented football team, but by just making some tweaks to formations and introducing a few new plays.


Josh Growden averaging 47.7 yards (a career-high) on his three punts. (The fact that Growden only punted three times in this contest further illustrates how dominant LSU’s offense was.)


Guice ran for a career-best 163 yards and three TDs on 17 carries for an average of 9.6 yards per carry.

Guice leads the nation in average yards per carry at 9.10.
This exceptional average has enabled him to reach the 1,000-yard mark in fewer carries than any player in LSU history.

wide receiver D.J. Chark became the first (and only) player in school history to score touchdowns of 75 yards or more both rushing and receiving.

LSU’s defense has given up just six touchdowns in the first six games of the season.

the Tigers have given up only 17 points in the last eight quarters of action,
and 84 total on the season which is tied for fourth nationally at 14.0 points per game.

defender extraordinaire Arden Key.
The sophomore defensive end leads the nation in pass rush productivity, generating 38 QB pressures on 156 pass rush snaps.

ESPN’s latest Power Index, the Tigers come in at No. 8.
The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength and is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season.
Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.

Coach O is the first coach in LSU football history (SEC era) to win his first two games as head coach of the Tigers by 30 or more points.

After averaging just 21 points in its first four games,
LSU more than doubled that by averaging 43.5 points per contest in home victories over Missouri (42-7) and Southern Mississippi (45-10).

LSU is the only team in the country that has held every one of its opponents to under 21 points.

In today's Dandy Don:

LSU averaged 10.9 yards per play against Southern Miss, which is highest since at least 1960.

Against Southern Miss, LSU had more points (45) than plays (42) for only the third time since LSU began keeping records of such things in 1949.

Josh Growden booting the longest punt (68 yards) since 2012 when Brad Wing had a 69-yarder against Arkansas.

Shoutout to LSU’s Todd Politz and The Advocate for the statistics.

rushing for 284 yards and three TDs (the shortest of which came on a 59-yard run) on only 16 carries. Not only did Fournette shatter Ally Broussard’s 12-year record for the most rushing yards in a single game, his 17.8 yards per carry set a new record for the highest single-game average of any LSU player with 15 or more carries.

Leonard Fournette runs roughshod over Ole Miss, into the LSU record book


a record-setting 284-yard performance for the nationally televised audience. The Rebels had no answer for Fournette as he scored on runs of 59, 76 and 78 yards en route to breaking Alley Broussard's school record of 250 rushing yards in 2004.

How incredible was Fournette? After a 1-yard loss on his first carry, Fournette gained 250 yards on his next six carries. His gains, in order: 59; 5; 24; 8; 76; 78. He averaged a video-game-like 35.6 yards a carry on his first seven runs.

He added to his extensive career highlight reel with a trademark trucking of Deontay Anderson in the second quarter.


The Tigers shut out Ole Miss in the second half, holding the Rebels to 37 yards and one first down through the third quarter and half of the fourth.
