LSU is undefeated vs. non-USA teams.
In 1907, on Christmas Day, the LSU Fighting Tigers beat the University of Havana on their home turf of Cuba, 56-0. We took all their good cigars.
Also, we beat Dracula's team in 1909, defeating Transylvania U 52-0 although I don't really count that one ;)
Any other SEC teams ever play a non-USA team in football?

Was that game against Transylvania a night game?

36-1, just that 1 hiccup.

Kentucky isn't actually another country, although it's easternmost counties sure as hell seem like it.

On 1/9/11 against Louisianastan and on their home turf, we beat that arse, drank their beer and danced with their girls.
Other than that, I got nothing.

This is bad, even by your standards. On top of that, you got the fricking date wrong.
You're just perpetuating that Bama stereotype.

Florida’s 1st bowl game was in 1912 in the Bicardi bowl in Cuba. They beat the Cuban team 28-0 on Christmas Day. They played them again on the 30th but the game was forfeited because they accused the Cuban refs and team of cheating (using old football rules and BS penalties). The head ref was the HC of the previous Cuban team they beat too.They ended up having to sneak out of Cuba and their HC was branded a fugitive by the Cuban government since they “illegally” canceled the game.
In addition both the Cuban team and Florida team officially counted the game as a win in their respective record books.

We have a loss to Havana. What a surprise.

We got it. We will no longer compare LSU to SEC teams.

There is nothing I can say to comfort y'all on that one. Lets just pretend it never happened.

Transylvania University is in Lexington, KY.
Geography was not your thing in school was it?

Yeah, but did the refs use the old rules? If so you can claim it as win somehow.

If history tells us anything, y'all were probably playing against a bunch of 30 year old monsters

I said I didn't count that one. If we had actually gone all the way to Europe I would have counted it of course.
