The 1895 LSU Tigers football team represented the LSU Tigers of Louisiana State University during the 1895 college football season. Coach Albert Simmons, in his last year at LSU, helped the Tigers to an undefeated season in 1895. This was the first unbeaten season in LSU football history. The season also featured the first home victory in LSU history with a win over Tulane in front of 1,500 spectators.[1] A contemporary account reads "The Tulane football team, with its band of shouters and several crippled players, returned to the city yesterday morning wearing dejected faces, as a result of the defeat administered at Baton Rough Saturday."[2] LSU joined the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) in 1895, and began playing as part of the conference in 1896.
