Was one of my all time favorite LSU games. 2011 (4)LSU vs (3)Oregon in Dallas for the season opener.

Regardless of how it ended, that game set the stage for one of the greatest seasons in LSU history. After the game I remember thinking that Oregon was overrated, but turns out they had just faced one of the greatest defenses to ever take a college football field.

Highlights




Here's hoping this years Tigers dominate UCLA to open the 2021 season the same way.

I was very upset with how that season ended. LSU had done everything right to earn a natty abd got screwed into playing a rematch that altered CFB forever. Regardless of all that, that game is one of my all time favorites and fun to rewatch. That tackle by Mingo in the backfield is just….. *chefs kiss*

That’s the one off-season I really commend Les for preparing the team. They were ready for that fast offense. Quickness/Speed of LSU was unreal

Another thing I remember from being at that game - I think it has to be the hottest event I have ever attended.

Not an ounce of shade around that stadium.

Had a blast though!

The video made me curious about lesmiles.net. I guess it used to be the official LSU Football web site?

That was only a 3 point game at halftime and only 13 point total? For some reason I remember it being much worse. It sure felt like it.

Correct

2011 Oregon was the best team in their program's history, up to that point. Better than the 2010 team that lost in the natty.

Damn I can’t believe I forgot how terrible and slow developing of a play the toss dive was. And that was in a game it actually had production

That video made me so happy and at the same time so damn mad because there is no excuse for not having Jarrett Lee as our starting QB all year. Will never forgive Les for not putting him in the title game.

This is the scariest part of this matchup for me. Chip Kelly has experience opening seasons against the SEC (us), and knows how much he and his team need to prepare for this game.

Not able to make it to this year's game but that weekend in Arlington was one of the best and most fun neutral site/away games that I've ever been to

I remember walking up to the stadium seeing a bunch of LSU fans dressed in camo ready to go duck hunting and when the Oregon fans approached they would drop bread crumbs and go, "Here ducky, ducky, here little ducky!" The Oregon fans were offended. (Why?!) My husband and I burst out in sidesplitting laughter. Tiger fans never cease to entertain!
