Edit: I combined memories of 2001 and 2003.

2001: game is the season finale due to 9/11 attacks. Winners represents the West. AU gets penalized pre-game and we onside kick it, Michael Clayton recovers, and we steal a 7-0 lead. LSU leads 21-7 at halftime. At half, their kicker loses a fight with the band and then misses a short FG later in the game...LSU wins 27-14.

2003: LSU pulverizes AU leading 21-0 after Broussards toss sweep TD run in the first quarter. Tubberville starts crying and it's 31-0 in third quarter after Mauck hits Henderson. That AU team was preseason No. 2 I think but just wasn't it. Got killed by us and USC that year.

Michael Clayton also murdered the Auburn return man on the kickoff following LSU's first score.

I was living in Ohio at the time and could catch the radio transmission on WWL. I was attending something at church that night, and I got in my car right after LSU scored the third TD in the first quarter. First thing I heard was Doug Morreau saying, "If Auburn's not careful, LSU's gonna score 100 tonight."

Fun memories.

GEAUX TIGERS!
