Best DEFENSIVE Performance in Tiger Stadium

'14 vs Ole Miss and '21 vs Bama are two that come to mind.

'21 vs Bama

Crazy how bad we were in '22

LSU v Auburn 1988 (you know the nickname).

That was a really good Auburn team that went 10-1 that year. Auburn was ranked #4 and LSU was coming off back to back road losses at Ohio St and Florida. It was the 9-6 Alabama game before that game. A tension filled game with very little happening because of great defense.

Another that probably isn't the "best", but deserves mentioning is the 2018 game vs. #2 Georgia. LSU's defense suffocated Georgia for much of the game. The ONLY reason it wasn't a blowout early is because that was the days of the stone-age LSU offensive approach. LSU led 16-0 at the half in front of the largest visiting crowd I've ever seen in Tiger Stadium. Georgia had a nice second drive that ended when LSU snuffed out a fake FG. Other than that, Georgia punted 5 times in the first half and only had one drive where they gained more than 20 yards. Georgia was able to find a bit more offense in the second half and the game stayed FAR too close than it should have been because LSU kept settling for FGs. But LSU's defense answered the call that day in a game many thought LSU would lose.

the 80's had some pretty salty defensive games
Auburn earthquake game for sure
Ohio St game that ended in a tie was another one

Of course, offenses were a lot easier to defend back then without the spread concepts

1979
#1 Bama 3 - LSU 0

LSU only crossed midfield once I believe but still held Bama to 3 points. That was amazing.

Alabama 1979.
Crimson Tide wins 3-0..
Only time either team crossed midfield was on that field goal kick.

Bama had a pretty good performance against us in 2018

1993 game in T-Town. The "Pigs Will Fly" game. 17-13 LSU and thumped Bama's win streak at 31 games. That one comes to mind as pretty sweet defensive game.

2011 Kentucky we only let up 150 yards whole game. I can't recall any SEC game where we let up 150 yards or fewer besides that game. It just goes under the radar but best defensive game I remember.

79 USC
