American college football season
The 2015 LSU Tigers football team represented
Louisiana State University as a member of the Western Division of the
Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the
2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season . Led by 11th-year head coach
Les Miles , the Tigers finished the season with an overall record of 9–3 and mark of 5–3 in conference play, tying for third place in the SEC's Western Division. LSU was invited to the
Texas Tech , where the Tigers defeated
Texas Tech . The team played home games
Tiger Stadium in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana .
In 2023, the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
vacated all of LSU's wins from the 2012 through 2015 seasons due to an ineligible player.
[1]
Offseason
LSU lost only three underclassmen to the NFL in the offseason: linebacker
Kwon Alexander , cornerback
Jalen Collins and defensive end
Danielle Hunter ; this was a large decrease compared to losing 11 underclassmen in
2012 and 7 in
2013 .
[2] On January 16 Les Miles held a press conference announcing that six underclassmen starters would return, including leading receiver
Travin Dural and star defensive back
Jalen Mills , as well as offensive linemen
Vadal Alexander and
Jerald Hawkins , tight end
Dillon Gordon , and linebacker
Lamar Louis .
[3]
For the third consecutive season, LSU signed a top-ten recruiting class consisting of 25 signees, highlighted by top-rated recruits
Kevin Toliver II ,
Arden Key ,
Tyron Johnson , and
Donte Jackson .
[4] While not as acclaimed as the previous season's consensus #2 ranked class, the class was ranked #10 by ESPN, #8 by rivals.com, and #5 by 24/7 sports.
In 2023, all wins for the 2014 season were vacated by the NCAA.

^[a] The game between LSU and McNeese State was canceled due to inclement weather. The game was delayed due to lightning after 5 minutes of play during which each team held the ball for one drive and no one scored. Both schools' athletic directors decided not to reschedule the game, thus declaring it a "no contest". LSU did agree to pay McNeese State its promised fee of $500,000.
^[b] The game between LSU and South Carolina was originally scheduled to take place in
Columbia, South Carolina . However, in light of
massive flooding in Columbia earlier in the week, the game was moved to Baton Rouge.
