re: Has it happened before? Down three touchdowns to a top 10 team and come back to win?

For LSU it is the biggest SEC comeback since at least 1949 - and we didn't win a lot of games back then where we gave up 20 points - 1946 had 3 games like that (Bama, Ole Miss and Tulane) - UGA in 1943, but I'm almost 100% certain we were never down 20 points in any of those games.
Going back to the 30s, I can't find a single candidate just by score - we only gave up 27 points in the regular season in 1937, for example (11 games). The sole loss that year? A 7-6 loss to Vandy in Nashville.
In 1933 (the first year of SEC play) - we gave up 27 points in 10 games - no losses, but 3 ties - Vandy, Centenary and Tulane.

I’m not talking about just LSU; I’m wondering about any team at any time.

That was the twilight of a 30-40 yr period where Vanderbilt was actually one of the better teams in the South.
The game is known in Vandylore as the "Hidden Ball Play." Vandy's 7-6 win over LSU
