Tigers on SECN this weekend....

The SEC Network is currently playing archived SEC games this weekend (& beyond). There are several LSU games coming on in the next few days in case you want to watch or DVR.

Saturday 7/21 @ 7p - From October 13, 2007 @ Lexington
----KY 43 LSU 37 3OT
This was of course LSUs National Championship year, but the #1 Tigers lost in triple overtime to the 17th ranked Wildcats. Charles Scott rushed for 94 yards on only 7 carries (13.4 avg) & Jacob Hester added 61 yards to the ground attack. Matt Flynn went 17/35 for 130 yds with 1 pick & 3 sacks. Jojo Lafell & Richard Dickson led the Tigers with 4 receptions each. Colt David was 3/4 and missed a 57 yard FG as time expired in the 4Q. As most of you remember, LSU would lose another 3OT game to the Piggies in November, but still played for, and won the SHIP.

Saturday 7/21 @ 9p - From October 8, 1988 @ Baton Rouge
---- LSU 7 Auburn 6
The Earthquake Game - LSU was unranked after dropping its 2 previous games to Ohio St & Florida (Ranked 18th & 17th respectively). Auburn was very strong and was ranked #4 coming into Death Valley. This was a defensive struggle all day as Auburn led 6-0 late in the game. With under 2 minutes to go, and on 4th down from the 11, Tommy Hodson hit Eddie Fuller in the back of the end zone to tie the game. The stadium erupted and set off the Seismographs on the LSU campus, thus the nickname. The ensuing extra point was the difference as LSU defeated Auburn 7-6.

Sunday 7/22 @ 5a - From November 9,2002 @ Lexington
----LSU 33 Kentucky 30
The Bluegrass Miracle - Im sure that most of you know the story of this infamous game so I wont go into alot of details here. But Kentucky scored 16 4th quarter points to take a 30 - 27 lead with 11 seconds left. LSU proceeded to drive 87 yards in 2 plays with the winning 75 yard TD from Marcus Randall to Jack Hunt, no I mean Devery Henderson as time expired. Dev finished with 5 catches for 201 yards. The Kentucky fans were tearing down the goalpost at the other end of the stadium assuming their victory.

Sunday 7/22 @ 7a - From Dec 6th, 2001 @ Atlanta
----LSU 31 Tennessee 20 (SEC Championship)
LSU was ranked 21st headed to Atlanta as they had already lost to Tenn earlier in the season (26-18) @ Neyland. The Vols were ranked #2 and everyone assumed that they were headed to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl to play for the championship. The tailgate for that game was epic, for those of you that were in attendance. Vol fans were everywhere with Orange Roses and gave us absolutely no chance to win. You may recall that a cheap shot out of bounds ended Rohan Daveys day and in came unheralded Matt Mauck to destroy Tennessee's dream season. He ran the QB draw at will and LSU controlled the game in the second half. Josh Reed & Michael Clayton each had 4 receptions and Domanick Davis rushed for 80 yards to compliment Maucks 50 yards on the ground. I distinctly remember getting on the MARTA transit system after the game with hundreds of depressed and angry Vol fans in shock. What a great feeling that was. LSU went on to defeat Illinois in the Sugar Bowl to cap the season.
