LSU seismometer records ground shaking during victory over Clemson

LSU defeated Clemson 51-10 on Saturday night in the opening game of the Lane Kiffin era at Tiger Stadium. An LSU seismometer located a quarter-mile from the venue captured multiple episodes of intense ground shaking throughout the contest. According to Dr. Karen Luttrell of the LSU Department of Geology and Geophysics, the most significant tremors occurred during LSU's first touchdown and a subsequent rushing score by quarterback Sam Leavitt in the second quarter. These seismic signals remained elevated for approximately 30 seconds following the scores. While the crowd noise reached 129.7 decibels, experts noted that the shaking intensity was roughly half of what was recorded during a Garth Brooks performance in 2022. The university continues to monitor stadium activity as the season progresses.
