re: If you could change one outcome of an LSU game which one would you chose?

2011
Because I held a business party at the Cantina Room in the WW2 Museum in the city, and had tons of customers and halftime prizes and spent a ton on the party, catered by Jon Folse etc…
The Cantina Room has a 20 foot screen & was a huge deal, and had a couple co-sponsors, but it turned into the energy of a funeral real quick.
Justin Jefferson in the casino until 3-4am not giving a crap about the game, that idiot Lea Miles with zero play calling dealing with a pass attempt over 20 yards.
Should have put the other QB in, maybe when Zach was young has had a cannon, and we had major height advantage on the edges, I thought we should have at least played 3-flys in, worst offense performance I’ve ever seen.

2011, we were at the game.

I was also a freshman at LSU.
What I remember most is that there was not 1" of extra space in the student section. People were crammed in there and even sitting/standing on the steps.
Loved the days when all it took was getting your ID punched to get in the games.

If not 2011 Bama, 2012 Bama. I still have nightmares about TJ Yeldon running into the end zone on that screen pass.

TLDR: we dominated turnover margin and had significant non-offensive points (ie not XPs, but FGs, pick-six, KO return, etc) in a lot of games.
Woulda been nice to have that "complimentary scheme" any of the last 6yrs.

2011 is the obvious answer. But for regular season games, I offer these:
2006 AU - refs legit stole it and denied us a berth in the SECCG
2012 Bama- we really needed that revenge against Bama and we never got it. I don’t know if we win the NC that year, but Bama wouldn’t have
2014 Bama. Another gut wrenching loss to those sick fricks.

I think changing a 3 touchdown loss is a tall order. Changing Oklahoma St/Iowa St is not.
Nor is wanting to change the result of the 2012 regular season game. In the long run, that loss was just as damaging as the 1/9/12.

2011 National Championship vs Alabama, without a doubt!!!
Posted on 12/22/25 at 9:14 am to DC4LSU
The 2011 loss to Alabama is the most disappointing loss in LSU history simply because of the stakes involved, who the opponent/coach was, and because we could finally have something to hang over their heads after decades of getting dominated.
As for regular season games, 1979 USC was a religious experience that only lacked a victory. That LSU fans still call a loss one of the greatest games in our history speaks volumes.
Even though there were no trophies or titles at stake, it's a "you had to be there" to appreciate its magnitude. It would top 1997 Florida as LSU's greatest home upset IMO.
And that was a BS facemask call on Benji! McClendon knew it. Benji knew it, and USC knew it!!!!!

2011 make a qb change for a few series and game changes

I really don't get why LSU fans just assume we would've beaten a really good UGA team that Bama needed a ton of luck to win.
Agreed, although if I could change one thing from 2012 it would be Mathieu plays the whole season. If he’s out there no way Yeldon scores and he likely gives us the edge over UGA as well, the same way he did in 2011. Mett playing UGA in the SECCG would have been really cool to see.
Mostly just sad we didn’t get to see what he could have done for another 13 or more games in purple and gold. But him getting himself together and becoming a possible HOFer and the ultimate representative of LSU with Shaq is about as good a story as we could hope for.
Aside from 1/9, the obvious answer, I’d love for the refs to get the FG call right for OKSt over ISU and see that SEC vs Big 12 matchup, which was the entire point of the BCS to begin with, but I digress.
Saw another mention on Auburn 06, great answer as well. The rematch with UF in the SECCG would have been epic, we’ve still never played them in Atlanta. And obviously seeing us against the 06 OSU squad would have been fun.
Would have liked to see Mett get that win in Athens in 2013. Feel like the season started to unravel after that and getting a win there could have changed the trajectory against Bama and definitely against OM.
One that I think deserves mentioning is Alabama 2015. LF was on track for one of the greatest seasons of all time and the entire thing just fell apart when he got completely shut down. Probably the most impressive defensive performance we’ve ever faced maybe even including 1/9.
If we walk out of Tuscaloosa with a win and break the streak, I don’t think the rest of the season plays out the same way at all. Would have been interesting to see how the team responded.
Same with Wisconsin or Auburn in 2016. Had Miles just started Etling we probably win at Lambeau and the pressure and temperature isn’t what it was going into Auburn. But likely the most important part of changing 2016 would have been wrapping LF in bubble tape in camp. He wasn’t the same after the ankle injury and it cost us against Wisconsin.
For big time fantasy, I think a playoff back in 2001 would have been a lot of fun. If we don’t drop that awful game to Eli and Ole Miss, after which Saban was about as loved as Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge, LSU probably gets in even in a 4 team format.
I’m not one to say we would have beaten Miami, but I do think we’d have taken Nebraska or Oregon or Colorado or whoever else we had to play to get to Miami.
Ro to Reed against that defense would have been an all timer to watch.

One more random change, I always wished Miles would have gone for 2 in that second overtime against Arkansas in 07.
That entire season was about The Mad Hatter, and had he ended the game right there with another gutsy call to win 43-42 win that team wouldn’t have had to live with the 2 loss knock and is likely thought of much differently on a national level.
Shutout MSU with 6 picks on the Thursday night opener, destroy V Tech in the home opener with Gameday on campus, all time fake FG against SC, five 4ths against defending champ Florida in an Instant Classic, Flynn to Byrd, smack down Saban in the first matchup, then go for 2 to keep DMC from getting the ball again, with only a triple OT loss to a top 10 team on the road and that’s a legendary 13-1 NC that changes the perception of that team and Miles and is still talked about to this day as one of the greats imo.

2011 but 1979 game was without a doubt the greatest spectator event I was ever a part of. It was electric.
I wish everyone could go back, not knowing the outcome, and be able to attend. Especially the younger fans on here
I don't think anyone that wasn't there can truly comprehend.

If you could swap out 2019 Burrow or 2023 Daniels maybe
Jarret Lee had 1 TD and 7 INTs vs Bama in his career he was not winning that game
