The 1961 Southeastern Louisiana Lions football team was an American football team that represented Southeastern Louisiana University as a member of the Gulf States Conference (GSC) during the 1961 college football season. In their 11th year under head coach Stan Galloway, the Lions compiled a 9–1 record (4–1 in conference games), tied for the GSC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 221 to 55. They were ranked No. 4 in the final United Press International coaches small college poll and No. 8 in the final Associated Press writers small college poll. The team tallied 2,954 yards of total offense (295.4 yards per game), consisting of 2,339 rushing yards and 615 passing yards. On defense, the team gave up 1,860 yards (186.0 yards per game). The team's leading rushers were halfbacks Wilbur Derrick (581 yards on 116 carries) and Billy Ladner (502 yards on 95 carries). Ladner led the team with 66 points scored on 10 touchdowns and six extra points kicks. Quarterback Elbert Harris led the team with 592 yards of total offense, including 406 passing yards (20 of 49 passes completed with five touchdowns and one interception). Billy Ladner was selected as the GSC outstanding back of 1961. He had the two longest scoring plays in the GSC during the 1961 season: a 98-yard interception return against Florence State and a 95-yard kickoff return against Louisiana Tech. Four Southeastern Louisiana players received first-team honors on the 1961 All-Gulf State Conference football teams selected by the coaches and writers. The honorees were: halfback Billy Ladner (coaches and writers); tackle Paul Alexander (coaches and writers); guard Sam Gourieer (coaches); and center Billy Johnson (coaches and writers). Others received second-team honors: end Monty Crook (coaches and writers); and halfback Wilbur Derrick (coaches and writers).
