Series History

LSU holds a 3-1 advantage all-time against the Sooners. 

Oklahoma won the first contest between the two programs — a 35-0 romp in the 1950 Sugar Bowl — but the Tigers have won all three battles since the turn of the century. 

Nick Saban led LSU to a 21-14 win over the Sooners in the 2003 National Championship in the Sugar Bowl. 

The next time the teams met, Joe Burrow shredded OU’s defense to win 63-28 in the 2019 College Football Playoff in Atlanta. 

The Tigers’ victory last year extended the series lead to 3-1.
