Michael Clayton against Auburn in 2001. The game was moved to the end of the season because of 9/11. Auburn came out and got a Personal Foul for dancing on the eye, so Saban onsides kicked the opening kick and we recovered, Scored a TD on the first drive and kicked it off. Michael Clayton flat out broke Roderick Hood in half, and the entire crowd in TS went "oooohhhh" at once. Awesome.

Check it out at the 3:20 mark

People actually stopped returning punts against Christian Life during Clayton's last season or so. He was such a man among boys - imagine, your HS QB intimidating other teams into fair catching every punt, because they were afraid he was going to end up killing somebody.

"Clayton hit on AU in 2001"

That's strange I thought of that very play. For some reason of all of the games I've been to, that one always floats to the top for me. It was such a significant time for LSU football and everyone was wondering if we could really vault into the bigtime. I'll never forget how loud it was and how much hate we had for AU back then.

Hard to believe it was over ten years ago.

Funny personal story on that hit:
My brother, who is a Bamafan, and I were sitting in the South EZ Lower Bowl in the middle of a bunch of Barners. He was wearing an LSU sweatshirt . When Clayton knocked that dude out, he stood up and proceeded to give him a full 10 count. Man those aubs were pissed. They ragged him and the classless "LSU" fans that whole game. Sometime in the 4th QTR after a barrage of insults from the visiting fans, he stood up and removed the LSU sweatshirt to reveal his true colors as a Gump. It was hilarious, they threw all manner of drinks, food, programs,etc. all simultaneously.

FWIW I was in the NEZ for the CJ hit on Arky in 09. I was field level in the handicap section and that hit was wicked. When they threw the flag the whole NEZ went ballistic.

2001 LSU vs Tulane...Tulanes CB rushed and absolutely obliterated Marcus Randall and he did a backflip from the hit that dude put on him. Easily the most intense hit i have ever seen in TS. Today that would of been flagged no doubt

Clayton received a couple of unwarranted personal fouls for legal hits in his time here. There was one block near a sideline that decleated a guy and drew a flag. Nothing illegal about the hit. It was just so vicious that I think the ref assumed it was illegal.
