Notre Dame heads into the Sugar Bowl this season with a 5-4 lead in wins against LSU. I dug that fascinating tidbit up using George Macor’s awesome Notre Dame Football Database.
Here’s the relevant info:
- Ara went 1-1 against LSU, winning a 3-0 barn-burner and losing an 8-28 shellacking.
- Faust went 2-1. A 27-9 revenge win, a 30-22 reiteration of the point, and a 7-10 loss of focus.
- Lou was 0-1 against LSU and will never forgive himself for it, having lost the game 19-21. Such a shame.
- Finally, Bob Davie(!) tied for best record against LSU as an ND Head Coach with a 24-6 win (and total shock to my Sophomore Year system), a 9-27 loss in the “rematch bowl,” a.k.a. “I knew this was a stupid idea,” and a 39-36 win that made us all wonder how legit our #10 ranking really was.
In essence, this bowl game may be the one and only time we ever hope that Charlie Weis is a little more like Faust and Davie and a little less like Ara and Lou.

like ND, LSU has good fans…but we’ll need the help of the little people to beat them..The luck of the IRISH is coming your way..
That ’98 game was a great game to be there for.
