OK stat gurus.......Can someone tell me what year and the power 5 team LSU won BIG for a season opener? Has it been a decade? I think so but will turn to you 'expert'. LOL

Thanks.........GEAUX TIGAS

2011 Oregon, off the top of my head. it wasn't THIS big of a spread, but it was convincing, and against a much better team than this version of Clemson. For a blowout like this one, you gotta go back to that 48-7 annihilation of Virginia Tech in '07.

If I'm not mistaken I believe VA Tech finished the year top 10, if not top 5.

VA Tech was 9th in both major polls.

At the time of game, or to finish the year?

Define a blowout. The last 3 openers against a P5 (which means before the PAC12 folded) with at least a win that seemed inevitable before the start of Q4

2007, but not Va Tech. The opener was 45-0 vs Moo State

2011 Oregon 40-27, but felt like a bigger blowout than the score suggests

2018 Miami 33-17
