Playing home games in one of the largest and rowdiest venues in the nation has its advantages. But the bigger the edge is, the harder a team must work to find the same success on the road in a hostile environment. 
LSU is no exception.
The Tigers’ success at home is no secret. They’ve lost just two of 31 contests in Tiger Stadium since 2009, both against No. 1 teams who went on to win BCS National Championships in their respective seasons (Florida in 2009 and Alabama in 2012).
Naturally, things get a bit tougher on the road, where the Tigers are 13-5 in the same time frame.
LSU’s stats take a hit as a whole on the road — the offense shows significant discrepencies in average points, yards and completion rates between games in Baton Rouge and those elsewhere.
Opposing offenses also tend to be more productive when the Tigers travel, running and passing the ball far more efficiently.
Yes, LSU tends to play far more games against cupcakes at home, but the stats continue to follow this trend when only taking games against top-25 opponents into account. 
The Tigers’ average margin of victory drops from 11.8 at home against ranked teams to 2.6 on the road, a near 78 percent decrease. They average almost 69 yards fewer in these situations.
Top-25 teams also gain almost 100 yards per game at home against LSU and run almost 21 percent more offensive plays.
