Alley Broussard vs South Carolina in 2003 is not deserving to be on the list. Alley vs ole miss in 2004.


You may be right. I just remember him romping all over their defense because of injuries to our running back group.

That Fournette vs Ole Miss 2016 is underrated. I remember at one point he had something like 7 carries for 200+ yrds, and he was still injured.

Josh Reed v Alabama


Reed muffed a punt for a turnover, and also fumbled in the red zone in that game.

I remember that Houston game. Faulk dominated. Also one of the hottest that I've been to.

Could’ve been Fournette vs Syracuse but they called a bullshite penalty nullifying an 87 yard TD that would’ve put him close to 350 yards on the day.Still an awesome trip.

Faulk singlehandedly won the Houston game


This game always stands out to me because of the performance vs. the rest of the team. LSU did not show up to that game, similar to 2017 vs. Troy. The first half was a nightmare. Then in the second half Faulk willed that team to victory. He was not going to be denied. Him getting the crowd pumped up as he was about to field a punt return at the beginning of the fourth quarter will always be my favorite Faulk moment. That being said Reed in 01 or Burrow/Chase/Jefferson games were probably more dominant but the team as a whole was also rolling.

TM7 @ WVU in '11 was wonderful to behold in person.

He was so amped up, them Mountaineers (and that was a very good WVU team) never saw anyone with the amount of "it" like Mathieu.

I love this gif of him barking at them:

More Honorable Mentions:

2019 - Clyde Edwards-Helaire vs. Arkansas - 6 Carries, 188 Yards, 3 TDs; 7 Catches, 65 Yards
2019 - Ja'Marr Chase vs. Vanderbilt - 10 Catches, 229 Yards, 4 TDs
2002 - Domanick Davis vs. Mississippi St. - 286 All-Purpose Yards
2002 - Devery Henderson vs. Kentucky - 298 All-Purpose Yards
1958 - Johnny Robinson vs. Tulane - 10 Carries, 91 Yards, 1 TD; 3 Catches, 87 Yards, 2 TDs; 2 PR, 33 Yards, 1 TD; 1 KR, 18 Yards
1949 - Kenny Konz vs. Tulane - 133 All-Purpose Yards, 1 TD; 8 Punts, 239 Yards; 3 INTs



The "most dominant" isn't necessarily the same as "best". Some of the individual performances against Florida over the years (e.g., Minter, Addai, Donaldson) would be higher on a list of "best performances" because the level of competition was so high. Much harder to be dominant against high-level opponents.

After watching Cecil Collins vs Auburn in 98, I thought I’d never see another RB performance like that the rest of my life.

Then I watched LF do it to Auburn in 2015 and a lot of those highlights from that game still show up regularly. Their defenders were scared of him that day and it showed. Unreal performance, will never be topped.

Then an injured Fournette vs Ole Miss in 2016 literally had his way and was just as dominating as he’d ever been since arriving in Baton Rouge.

Those 3 games stand out to me. Not to slight 2019 team and how they dominated everyone, but there’s just something different about giving the ball to your tailback and watching him demoralize the opposing team

Another vote for Cecil vs. Auburn 1997.

Literally best performance I’ve ever seen (especially when considering context of the game)

I looked at the box score for that game. That's astounding how dominant both safeties were on D and ST!

Casanova - 9 Tackles, 1 INT (13 Yards); 203 Combined KR and PR Yards, 2 PR TDs
Burns - 5 Tackles, 3 INTs (58 Yards); 64 PR Yards, 1 TD
