The 45 points scored by LSU in their bowl win over the Spartans was the second-most points (behind Drew Brees and Purdue's 52 points in 1999) allowed by a Nick Saban coached team until the 2019 LSU Tigers put up 46 against Saban's Alabama squad (which was also the most points surrendered by any Alabama team at home in regulation).
LSU did not play in-state rival Tulane in the Battle for the Rag for the first time since 1910 (not counting 1918, when both teams canceled their seasons during the height of U.S. involvement in World War I).
