Posted this a couple months ago, just some interesting stats:

Brandon Lafell's scored a touchdown on his very first collegiate play from scrimmage.

In the first quarter of 2008, we were outscored by our opponents 81-82. This is the first time this has happened since 2002 when we were outscored 78-80 in the 2nd quarter.

Only 2 returning SEC QB's threw for more touchdowns than Jarrett Lee last year: Tebow and Snead.

Of the 54 kickoffs fielded by LSU last year (most in the SEC), only one was ruled a touchback. We also did not return a kickoff for a touchdown. The first time since 2005. An opponent has not returned a kickoff the distance against LSU since 2000.

The leading tackler on offense last year was Charles Scott. (2)

Our last two games last year (Arkansas and Gtech) were the only two games played in front of less than 82000 fans. (55325 & 71423)

Tennessee and Alabama last year gave up the exact same amount of yardage per game. (263.5)

LSU ranked 6th in the conference in both sacks allowed and sacks made last year.

Miss. State allowed opponents to convert 10 of 11 fourth downs.

LSU and Auburn tied for time of possession at exactly 30:12.

LSU had the very best t/o margin for fumbles (+9) and the 2nd worst margin (-10) for interceptions in the conference.

LSU was the only team to attempt an onside kick against Auburn last year. It was the first of two surprise onside kicks on the year and both were recovered by LSU.

LSU’s leading tackler (Coleman) ranked 25th in the league in tackles.
