I remember that game. It was the week after losing to UAB. The players were pissed off and had something to prove.

I was at the UAB game. Pretty sure that was Homecoming game. Was one of the most disgusted I'd ever been after a game. Very long drive back home.

I was in the student section and on the field immediately after the last play.

My first game. I was 12 and took some of the Tiger eye to transplant at home.



I still have some in a zip lock bag in my old bedroom at my parent’s house.

I like when Josh Reed points to the endzone 20 yds out on a bubble screen for the TD.

This game started the turnaround IMO. Proud to say I was there.

And, as has been mentioned, it came on the heels of the UAB loss. I remember at halftime the aura was "can we hold on and win this thing". The way the second half unfolded was even better, because it showed true resiliency.

Set us up for the Peach Bowl win that year. That along with 2001 SECCG and crushing of Illinois in Sugar Bowl really got the train moving. Unfortunately Mauck got injured in 2002 when we were 6-1 at the time and just crushed UF at the swamp.

The 2003 regular season game in TS against UGA is still my favorite - in regards to "we have beat down some demons and we're about to be special". I hope to never forget the TS crowd going nuts screaming "LSU! LSU! LSU!" during the TV timeout - after UGA took a screen pass 90 yards to tie the game. A few years back the crowd would have been "here we go again". Instead, just pure support of the team. And did they deliver!

Good times. Apologies if a bit nostalgic.

I believe it was 14 point spread too. LSU had no business to be in that game. The student section was empty by halftime. Those of us who stayed were rewarded.

That game, Georgia 2003 at LSU, and Florida 2007 are my favorite LSU games of all time.
