I listened to the 1961 game on WWL when Rice beat LSU in the first game of the season - then went on to win the rest of the regular season games and destroyed the Big7 champ, Colorado, in the Orange Bowl.
Tiger fans were very optimistic going into the 1962 season - ranked #5 in the AP preseason poll. I was a junior for the 62 season and watched in disbelief as Rice tied us in Tiger Stadium.
Ironically, Rice also tied Texas that season (the only regular season blemish on Texas's record that season).
LSU finished the season ranked #7 and beat #4 Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

My father played on from 1960-1962 on LSU team.. He said Rice was always a tough game then. LSU totally dominated Colorado in Orange Bowl.
