BATON ROUGE, LA. • Before he was out of work, Les Miles once famously quipped that Death Valley is the place where "opponents’ dreams come to die." Tiger Stadium, home of the LSU Tigers, is always considered among the nation’s most inhospitable venues, especially when the lights come on for a night game.
Since 2005, Miles’ first season as head coach, only six SEC teams have visited Tiger Stadium and beaten LSU in a night game. They are …
Arkansas in 2015, final record 8-5
Mississippi State in 2014, final record 10-3
Alabama in 2014, final record 12-2
Alabama in 2012, final record 13-1
Florida in 2009, final record 13-1
Tennessee in 2005, final record 5-6
That’s a small list considering how often the Tigers play home night games, though LSU has been more vulnerable at home the last few years.
