    1958 LSU 62 Tulane 0

    Prior to the game, a Tulane player said that they would beat LSU because they would choke. LSu lead only 6-0 at the half, but poured it on the 2nd half and scored 35 points in the 4th quarter. This would be the 1st of 3 wins by this score in the next 7 years.

    1961 LSU 62 Tulane 0

    This was the second of the traditional 62-0 score against Tulane from 1958 to 1965. It marked the end of Andy Pilney's reign as the Green Wave coach. Pilney had been the hero of Notre Dame's upset of Ohio State 26 years earlier as he Irish shocked the Buckeyes in Columbus 18-13. This would also be Paul Dietzel's 2nd to alst game as a Tiger coach and last game in Tiger Stadium as he lead LSU to a 25-7 win over Colorado in the Orange Bowl and a #3 National ranking.

    1965 LSU 62 Tulane 0

    LSU finished the 1965 season in a big way by beating the Greenies of Tulane by the magical 62-0 score for the third time in 7 years. It had been a dissappointing year as it opened with great promise with many picking the Tigers to win the SEC Title and challenge for national honors, but an early season loss to Florida in Gainesville of 14-7 as Joe Labruzzo fumbled on the 2 yard line late in the 4th quarter and a knee injury to Nelson Stokely stymied the Tigers in losses to Ole Miss 23-0 and Alabama 31-7. The Tigers regrouped and bounced back with a win over Mississippi State and smothered the Green Wave in this momumental rout, which featured an 80 yard punt return before the half by Sammy Grezzafi. LSU scored late in the game and went for 2 to get the 62 points, much to the angst of Tulane fans. It would mark the end of Tommy O'Boyle's reign as Green Wave coach and pave the way for the Jim Pittman era.

    I think that Miles will try to duplicate this score if he has the right situation.
