I was there with my little brother and it was a badass game. Wasn't that the first OT game in TS history too?

It's either this one. Or a QB Draw in the 01 SECCG. Or the pick 6 in 07 SECCG. Boo all of you.

A good sport is a good sport. Thanks for the lift to our program when we needed it. Oh, and thanks +1000 for that DC Chavis.

Man.....just reading it brings me back!!!

How awesome is it to be a Tiger fan during this time and see where we were.

To step back and see how this year has gone, win or lose you just have to shake your head in disbelief.

I disagree. The blocked punt at the end of the 1st half vs. Ole miss in 2001 was the biggest. This was a huge play in the game and Saban was booed loudly at halftime and lsu eventually lost for being ultra conservative on offense. After this game, saban allowed jimbo to open up the offense and lsu became one of the best teams in the country and for the first time in a long time became a major factor nationally.

The sequence of events leading up the the Green TD was the first time that I remember being in Tiger Stadium against a really good opponent, and the general vibe was "we're going to pull this out, they got lucky on that long screen pass, we're better than those guys" as opposed to the "here we go again" mindset. like it was the exact moment saban talked about in all of his climbing the mountain/overcome adversity/changing the mindset speaches coming to fruition.



This.

The LSU LSU LSU chants as UGA celebrated that TD was when I knew we had "it" to the point of being a serious national contender.

I would give my left nut to have Rohan under center on Jan.9

I remember it well. Lee to Randle against Alabama deep in Tiger territory late in the game at home in 2010 is another more recent accomplishment along those lines. The 1st down TD pass in O.T. by Davey was the icing on the cake. Good memories.... Geaux Tigers.

I have to agree with lsumatt. His point is not what was the best play of the last 10-11 years, but what was THAT play that was the turning of the corner. The exact play when we left the dark ages of Archer - Hallman - Dinardo and started becoming the modern LSU Tigers.

That play after which we didn't know who we were anymore, but we liked where we were going.

Thanks. It was fun watching it again. I agree. To be able to throw the ball. Imagine that.

Glad that you mentioned that, because I'd forgotten about that play. Another thing was, Rohan takes a big hit just as he's throwing the ball, making that play just that much tougher. Not only did that conversion avoid the possibility of Tenn. getting a chance to win in regulation, it would ultimately lead to the Tigers having one (though the potential game winning FG was blocked.)

To be honest, up until that game, I'd had my issues with RD. He'd looked bad in some games he was in up until that point...but he made me a believer that night.

I would also give your left nut for that - and quite a bargain that would be!

I was at the Tennessee game. It was a raemarkable example of everything going right for the Vols once their comeback started. They made every fourth down; they got every bounce; and they got every break...until OT The only time I remember things lining up like that for the Tigers was when we beat Florida when Les went for like a million fourth downs and made them all.

Rohan was amazing, loved the guy. It seemed like he was on the brink of collapsing in every big game he played lol. Still usually managed to finish it out, but I just always remember him playing hurt.

The game that I thought changed LSU football was beating Alabama in Tiger Stadium in 2000. I was at the game, 35 years old and had never seen LSU beat Bama at home.

The first college football game to reverse a call on instant replay.
