LSUs All-Time Great Squads: From Dietzels 1958 Champions to Orgerons 2019 Undefeated Team
Fans are eagerly anticipating Lane Kiffins LSU Tigers, with high hopes for a national championship after years of disappointment under Brian Kelly. This episode delves into LSUs all-time great teams, comparing them against each other.
The 1958 team under Paul Dietzel, led by Billy Cannon, went 11-0 and won the consensus national title. Nick Sabans 2003 squad, also 13-1, shared a championship after defeating Oklahoma. Les Miles 2007 team, 12-2, rebounded from early struggles to defeat Ohio State for the title. The 2011 defense, powered by Tyrann Mathieu, dominated until a shutout loss to Alabama.
However, the 2019 team under Ed Orgeron stands out, going 15-0 with Joe Burrow throwing 60 touchdowns, JaMarr Chase and Justin Jefferson excelling, and seven top-ten wins, including Alabama and Clemson, to claim undisputed greatness.
