In 2014 the Lynx rushed for 15 total touchdowns (among three different rushers), threw for 21 touchdowns which led the SAA (among twelve different receivers), with six offensive starters being recognized on SAA All-Conference Teams.

During the 2013 season, Larsen directed a passing attack that produced several Southern Athletic Association (SAA) leading performances.  Quarterback Blake Box led the SAA in both Touchdown Passes and Passing Efficiency.  Tight End Charles Schneider led the conference in Touchdown Receptions, while Wide Receiver Jonathan Wiener finished second in the SAA in yards per catch and fifth in receiving yards per game.

In 2012, Larsen coached BSN Pre-season All-American Jack Lartigue to a record breaking season which resulted in Lartigue being honored as a First team SAA All-Conference selection.  During the course of that season, Lartigue set school records in almost every receiving category including single game receptions (18 against Trinity University), career receptions and career receiving yardage.  Lartigue went on to represent the South in the Division III Senior Classic All-Star Game as a starting Wide Receiver. The Lynx also had their first winning season in five years.
