In all honesty, the long TD run Jefferson had vs Arkansas in 2011

Great moment.

That was maybe the best game Jefferson played at LSU

First time I walked in at the age of 7 with my Dad, and saw that field and heard the crowd and smelled the smells.

Seeing 12-0 on the big screen after beating Arkansas in 2011

Question depends a lot on a person’s age, but I’m 57 and for me, it was the 1979 LSU vs. USC game. Although a loss, it was by far the most memorable game of all times (for me). USC had like 3 Heisman candidates. LSU had the game basically won as on either 3rd or 4th down and long, USC throws and incomplete pass. There is a flag on the field in the backfield and everyone is surely thinking offensive holding, but for some reason, one of the LSU defenders who was rushing the passer grabbed the qb’s facemask. If you don’t already know the story, you can guess what happened from there. I remember slamming my plastic cup on the aisle steps after LSU's last gasp hail Mary throw was incomplete. But what a scene.
A close 2nd would be FSU game in 1982 when the oranges were flying.

You mean like last season against Ole Miss?

lebrandon toefield running down the sideline against Tennessee in 2000 is when LSU started its rise up. Lsu has been on a risen level since that play until allevia mishandled getting rid of miles put lsu back down.

If you were not jumping up and down either physically or mentally when Lebandon toefield was running down the sideline Tennessee 2000 then you do not bleed purple and gold.

The students were swarming the wall and rushed the field.

That game was THE turning point for LSU for the last 15 years.

I'm a student who didn't get to go to games as a kid, so the Ole Miss game last year was unlike anything I've ever experienced. So much back and forth play the whole game. We moved the ball multiple times only to fumble it away or have Jennings throw a pick.

But you could feel it. This was our game. Our defense looked invincible.

The 12 play 90 yard drive was incredible, but the truly insane moment was when we stopped them on the 4th and 1 sneak around midfield.

Absolute f****** delirium. I've never screamed so much in my life. And finally the Bo pick to bring the game to a end. What a game.

I've been going to the games for 50 years and there's a lot to pull from but one that was the most crazy was probably the announcement that Stanford had beat USC during the 2007 Florida game. Everyone on both sides of the field and both benches absolutely lost their minds for about 3 minutes. That's at least a tie for my favorite moment.

Well - since I was in Tiger Stadium in '59 to witness the Billy Cannon Halloween run, with the subsequent goal line stand to preserve the 7-3 victory over Ol Miss, this one is easy.

I fell in love with LSU in the late 40s when I went to see LSU play North Carolina - Y, A. Tittle vs Choo Choo Justice. First time I had ever been in a real stadium.

1982 game vs Florida State. The field was covered with Oranges. I remember the announcer kept trying to get people to stop throwing Oranges on the field. Every time he did more and more oranges would cover the field.
