4. Which LSU bowl games have been rematches of a regular season game?
Ole Miss - Sugar Bowl - 1959 Season
Notre Dame - Indy Bowl - 1997 Season (had to look up year on this one)
Bama - BCS CG - 2011 Season
(ETA: Winner of regular season game lost the bowl game in all 3 of these, and 2 regular season games considered 2 of the greatest of all time.)
I have a feeling there are others.

Most points total-I think 80 (can't remember the final score, it was something like 47-33 LSU beat Illinois in the 2002 Sugar.
I think the Texas Tech game was 57-27 or something like that.
84 points?

2) Iowa.
LSU played Iowa twice in the Outback Bowl and Iowa State in the Sun Bowl.
3) I don't recall the scores but Penn State has beaten LSU twice in low scoring bowl games. One recent and the other in the Orange Bowl back in the early 70's
9) I'll guess Tennessee. LSU lost the Liberty Bowl to Baylor in 1985 and recently lost to Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl.

Out of what hasn't been answered
#9 has to be Tennessee. The Liberty Bowl has always been a disaster for LSU then they lost the 2014 Music City Bowl.
#6 is probably the toughest one because it's so obscure. At least I know they got a safety last season in the Citrus Bowl and LSU lost to TCU 3-2 in their first Sugar Bowl so that's two.

I'm also gonna go with Texas on this one. I dont know if we played Baylor, but I know we played A&M, Texas, TCU, and Texas Tech.
I have a feeling youre forgetting at least 50% of the FBS schools in Texas.
Thats a big state. It sure as hell isnt Texas. Its probably a southern state with only 2 FBS schools.
Maybe South Carolina (Clemson & South Carolina)???
ETA: Question #2 btw
ETA Again: I see others then confirmed SC. Thats what I figured!

#7, Miami in 2005 Peach: 40-3 win (biggest win).
Oklahoma in 1950 Sugar: 0-35 (biggest loss).
Oklahoma in 1950 Sugar: 0-35 (biggest loss).

Also 1965 Sugar. LSU tackled Syracuse QB Walley Mahley in his end zone for a safety, to narrow the margin in the 1st half to 3-2

Correct.

Coastal Carolina is now in FBS, so incorrect. The correct answer is Iowa, as someone posted.

The safety from 1936 CLEARLY indicates a cheat.

OUTSTANDING effort putting together this quiz. Well done sir.
Posted on 12/20/17 at 12:24 pm to LSUdude247
At-KANsas, USCe, Ole Miss, Alabama, Missour, a7m, and Tennessee. Can add GaTech as a former SEC school LSU has played in bowl games.
