  • $ – Conference champion
Rankings from AP Poll

The 1970 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University during the 1970 college football season.


Following a 3–0 loss to No. 2 Notre Dame at South Bend, LSU was extended a bid to face Big Eight Conference champion Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. However, the bid was contingent on the Tigers defeating both Tulane at New Orleans and Ole Miss at Baton Rouge in the final two weeks of the season.


Still steaming about being shut out of the major bowl games in 1969 despite a 9–1 record, LSU responded to the challenge. The Tigers overcame a stubborn Tulane squad, which earned a Liberty Bowl invitation despite falling 26–14 in the Battle for the Rag, and then dismantled Ole Miss 61–17 in front of a large television audience and nearly 70,000 fans in Tiger Stadium. In that game, Tommy Casanova tied an NCAA record with two punt return touchdowns in a single game.[1] Casanova and linebacker Mike Anderson were recognized as consensus All-Americans.
