LSU-Baylor History

he football history between the LSU Tigers and the Baylor Bears is not particularly extensive, but there have been a few notable moments when the two teams have faced off. The rivalry between LSU, a perennial powerhouse in college football, and Baylor, a team that has risen to prominence in recent decades, is not as well-known as some of the other historic matchups in college football. Below is a summary of their football history:

1. First Meeting and Early Years

  • First Meeting (1972): The first time LSU and Baylor met on the football field was in the 1972 Peach Bowl, a postseason game. The LSU Tigers, led by head coach Charlie McClendon, defeated Baylor 23-14 in that contest. This game marked the beginning of their head-to-head series.
  • Pre-2000s: After their initial meeting in the 1972 Peach Bowl, the two teams did not play each other regularly, as LSU is part of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and Baylor is in the Big 12 (formerly the Southwest Conference and Big 12). For much of the late 20th century, the two schools operated in different football spheres, which limited opportunities for them to meet.

2. 2000s and Early 2010s

  • Limited Matchups: As the two teams mostly played outside of each other’s conference and had different schedules, LSU and Baylor didn’t meet often in the early 2000s. During this time, LSU continued to be one of the most successful programs in the country, with multiple SEC championships and national titles, while Baylor struggled to find consistent success on the field.
  • Baylor’s Rise (2010s): Baylor began to emerge as a competitive team in the Big 12 during the 2010s, especially with the rise of head coach Art Briles and dynamic quarterbacks like Robert Griffin III (RG3). Despite this success, the two teams still did not meet frequently in the regular season or bowl games.
