Default Saturday Marks 50th Anniversary of Cannon's Run
  • Saturday night will mark the 50th anniversary of Billy Cannon's 89-yard punt return for a touchdown in LSU's 7-3 win over Ole Miss on Halloween Night in 1959. That punt return, considered one of the greatest plays in college football history, helped Cannon win the Heisman Trophy that year.
  • LSU holds the nation's longest non-conference winning streak at 21 straight games. LSU hasn't lost a non-conference game since a 30-25 defeat to Iowa in the Capital One Bowl to cap the 2004 season.
  • LSU has also won 26 consecutive non-conference games in Tiger Stadium, a stretch that goes back to the 2002 season when the Tigers dropped a 13-10 decision to UAB.
  • LSU has won 23 consecutive games over teams from Louisiana. The last time LSU lost to a team from Louisiana came in 1982 when the Green Wave beat the Tigers, 31-28, in Tiger Stadium.
  • LSU has won 33 of its last 34 Saturday night games in Tiger Stadium.
  • LSU is ranked in the top 10 during the month of October for the fifth straight year
  • Since the 2002 season, LSU is 49-11 in games which they were ranked in the Top 10.
  • LSU has limited its last 3 SEC opponents to a combined 36 points (Georgia 13, Florida 13, Auburn 10) - it's the fewest over any 3-game SEC span for LSU since 2005 when the Tigers held Mississippi State (7), Vanderbilt (6), and Florida (17) to a combined 30 points in a three-week stretch.
  • LSU coach Les Miles is 12-5 in games played during the month of October.
  • LSU has held its opponent scoreless in 9 of 20 quarters in SEC play this year, including first halves against both Georgia and Auburn.

I would tell you I was at that game... except I wasn't born until the 1970's, lol. I wish they had kept the Ole Miss game as the Halloween game.
