The 2013 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 ninth-year head coach Les Miles, the Tigers finished the season with an overall record of 10–3 and mark of 6–2 in conference play, tying for second place in the SEC's Western Division. LSU was invited to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, where the Tigers lost to Clemson. 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
Following the end of the 2012 season, LSU lost numerous players to the NFL Draft, including ten underclassmen, the most of any other team. Key losses included second-team All Americans Kevin Minter and Eric Reid, third-team All American Sam Montgomery, and second-team All-SEC players Barkevious Mingo and Drew Alleman.
In February 2013, LSU announced that it had hired former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, for the same position. Cameron served as the Ravens' offensive coordinator for five seasons. Cameron served for a single season as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins prior to joining the Ravens' staff. Prior to that, Cameron was the offensive coordinator for five seasons for the San Diego Chargers. Cameron had also previously spent time as part of the staff for the Michigan Wolverines alongside LSU head coach Les Miles for seven seasons from 1987 to 1993. Cameron will be replacing Greg Studrawa as LSU's offensive coordinator. Studrawa had spent the prior two seasons as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Studrawa was retained as the offensive line coach.[2]
In 2023, all wins for the 2012 season were vacated by the NCAA.
