re: Favorite/Most Exciting LSU football game you have ever watched?

1980 Auburn game. I was a student there, so in the student section.


Write up in Dandy Don describes it better than I can:

1980 LSU 21 Auburn 17
This was a night the crowd helped the Tigers. The game seesawed back and forth as Malcom Scott put the Tigers ahead on touchdown reception. LSU lined up to punt late in the 4th quarter. Auburn broke through and blocked the kick and recovered the ball on LSU's 10 yard line. Jerry Stovall brought the team together and inspired them to hold on for 4 downs. On the first play, a wide open Auburn receiver dropped a sure touchdown pass. LSU held for two more downs and on 4t down, Marcus Quinn made a picturesque interception and almost returned it the distance, but more importantly LSU held on and ran out the clock to go to 4-2.

Only let me add my recollection that Quinn's was in the end zone (which seems logical given Auburn started on the 10).

That was actually homecoming, a rowdy time was had by all.
