2007 - LSU vs. Va Tech (48-7)- Va Tech was ranked in the top 10 and LSU took them behind the woodshed from jump. Offense churned out nearly 600 yards and defense gave up less than 150.

or

2019- LSU vs Oklahoma (63-28) - An early 7-7 tie turned into an absolute beat down. LSU could have scored 100 if it wanted to. Offense gained nearly 700 yds

This first half and the Ole Miss first half that year were unlike anything I'd seen.

Conversely, in 2019, even though we beat the brakes off A&M, we actually left a ton of points on the table and if we had played just a little better might have scored 90.

Both classics. Can't forget the 2005 Peach Bowl either.

40-3. Out gained them 468 to 153. Held them to 5 first downs.

Last year’s bowl game performance against Purdue was pretty damn close to perfection.

Peach bowl vs Miami 40-3 with our backup QB was a good one too. Then kicked their arse in the tunnel after the game. I still think that 2005 team is a natty team if not for Katrina

People have already named some great ones.

2006 Arizona at home was one of the biggest arse kickings I can recall.

2011 season opener vs Oregon

For as bad of an offense we had, we dominated that game.

Spencer Ware & Michael Ford both ran for 96+ yds

Forced 4 turnovers

Oregon threw the ball 54 times for 240 yds

The 2019 OK game was the most I ever felt I was watching an EA Sports NCAA PlayStation game being played live with humans before my eyes. Do not think I ever spent so much time in a game laughing at what I was seeing on the field and it not being to conceal the from rage of Les Miles doing something stupid.

The 2007 VA Tech and 2006 Zona games felt like pure old school football domination. Where the defense could literally put the other team all in an ambulance at will in that rowdy BR Saturday night.

Since most of the ones with very formidable opponents have been already mentioned I would say the 2012 game against the Washington Huskies is up there. They came out with an early 3-0 lead and LSU won the game 41-3. They finished 7-6 on the season and managed to take down 2 teams that were top 10 at the time on their schedule. So they were neither great but they weren't cellar dweller bad either.

ETA - Just started watching the replay and they only had the 3 points because Odell fumbled the opening kickoff. Defense completely shut them out.

I'll always fondly remember when we nuked ND back to the stone age when they came to the sugar bowl with Brady Quinn and Jeff Samardjizia.

Check out the 1987 Gator Bowl if you can find it. South Carolina was top five in offense and defense going into this game. The LSU game plan on offense was to put one receiver, Wendell Davis out on passes, and keep everyone else in to block against the SC ferocious pass rush. It worked. Davis made the CB assigned to him on each play look silly, and Hodson and Davis were the stars of the game. The game plan was brilliant, and it actually made me believe that Mike Archer would be a great coach.

We destroyed them physically and that's when they were a good, lunch bucket type team that ran the ball well. I remember Tyrod Taylor came in for them (I think the starter got hurt) and it felt like throwing a lamb to a lion.

The OU game was a case of a shitty defense having to face an offense that would be high powered even by NFL standards. I was doing a shot of Jagermeister every time LSU scored, people were doing wellness checks on me in the fourth quarter.

LSU over Bama at Legion Field, 1982. LSU was 7-0-1, Gumps 7-1 with an 11 year win streak over us. We won 20-10 but the score was deceptive. The Tigers held the Gumps to zero first downs in the first half, 119 yards total, and forced 7 fumbles (recovering 4). It was total domination after years of heartbreak.

It was the worst beating Bama had taken since the 60s, and after the game, Bear Bryant said maybe it was time to retire. Welp, he did after that year and it was glorious as when Steve Spurrier’s career as a college HC ended with a Les Miles mercy knee.

I was young AF then, but I will always remember that game. My hatred of Bama goes wasaay back, and 20-10 will be on my gravestone.

2015 - Auburn was pretty damn fun. That was the Leonard fournette game. He went buck wild.
