Miami vs. LSU
This will mark the 13th all-time meeting between Miami and LSU on Sunday night in Dallas. LSU holds an all-time lead of 9-3 in the series.
This will be the first time the sides have met up since 2005, when LSU drubbed the Hurricanes 40-3 in Atlanta. That was the first meeting since 1988, when Miami handed LSU a 44-3 defeat in Baton Rouge.
Prior to the 1988 meeting, the two had not met since 1969. The series began in 1946, when LSU defeated Miami 20-7 in Miami under head coach Ben H. Moore. The sides would meet up again in 1958 and 1959, which LSU won both of by a combined score of 68-3.
LSU ran off a 7-0 run against Miami from 1946-66, and Miami would not win their first in the series until a 17-15 win in 1967. Miami would win again the following year 30-0 in Miami, but would not see another win over LSU again until 1988. LSU won in 1969 20-0.
The history of this series is rife with blowouts, as 5 of the 12 meetings have ended with a differential of 20 or more points when all was said and done.
