BATON ROUGE, LA – Local meteorologist Steve Caparotta recorded eight tornado touchdowns across Louisiana this week, officially surpassing the entire offensive output of several Brian Kelly performances during the 2025 season.
The accomplishment has created an unusual situation inside WAFB, where veteran sports director Jacques Doucet reportedly spent part of Friday comparing SEC offensive statistics against National Weather Service storm reports.
“Normally my job is to cover touchdowns scored by football teams,” Doucet said while staring at a radar map. “This is the first time I’ve had to verify whether a tornado outbreak had a better week offensively than LSU.”
According to unofficial rankings, Caparotta now leads several former LSU opponents in weekly touchdown production despite never taking a snap, calling a play, or entering the transfer portal.
Sources say LSU coaches became concerned after learning Caparotta’s eight touchdowns came despite operating under severe weather conditions.
“To be fair, he had a lot of wind at his back,” one LSU supporter noted.
Meanwhile, Jacques Doucet reportedly spent the evening breaking down touchdown highlights from both the tornadoes and LSU’s 2025 offense before concluding that only one of them consistently showed up.
Coach O reportedly congratulated Caparotta on the achievement before reminding reporters that he once recruited a thunderstorm out of southeast Texas.
