WORTH NOTING:
LSU goes into the Troy contest looking to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time since the 2002 season. The last time LSU lost back-to-back games in football, Nick Saban was the Tigers' coach and current LSU starting quarterback Jarrett Lee was just an eighth-grader. LSU's last back-to-back losses came in 2002 when the Tigers dropped a 21-20 decision to Arkansas to close out the regular season and then fell to Texas by a 35-20 count in the Cotton Bowl. The last time LSU lost consecutive regular season games came in 2001 when the Tigers fell to Tennessee and Florida in back-to-back games. LSU is 8-0 under Les Miles following a loss, which includes a 2-0 record in 2008.

The last time the Tigers lost a non-conference home game was against UAB by a 13-10 count on Sept. 23, 2000. Overall, LSU has won 17 straight non-conference games, a streak that includes three consecutive bowl victories. LSU's last non-conference loss came to Iowa in the 2005 Capital One Bowl by a 30-25 count.
