What is the greatest first quarter lsu fball performance you can remember?

Northwestern State this year was awful, they were down 7-3.

We put up 28 points against Vandy in the first quarter this year. I’d imagine that’d be pretty hard to beat

Considering the stage, it’s gotta be Oklahoma

Best: Auburn 2003. Had an event and couldn't watch the beginning of the game. Got into the car and turned on the radio just in time to hear Doug Moreau say, "And if Auburn isn't careful, LSU's gonna score 80 points tonight." LSU had just scored to go up 21-0. LSU had also stopped Auburn on a 4th and 1 at midfield when Chad Lavalais drove Cadillac Williams back 3 yards.


Worst: @Auburn 2014. Brandon Harris' first start and it was ugly. Could have hit a big play to tie it at 7, but missed the target by 15 yards. Otherwise, the Tigers were dominated much worse than the 7-41 score.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Arizona in 06 just feels like the most dominant performance to me. It was only 17-0 after 1, but the defense just destroyed Arizona.

The SEC Championship Game against Georgia (2011) was not only the worst 1st quarter I've seen, it was the worst 1st HALF of football on any level I've witnessed. Especially considering the TALENT on the field.

Auburn 97 first quarter cost us the West that year. Before I could get to my seat we were down 2 scores because Herb wet the bed. We lost 31-28 and outplayed them for 52 minutes.

Because it's recent I immediately thought A&M this year. Looking up the box I found 21 points for LSU, 0 for A&M. A&M had a total on 18 yards on 15 plays having the ball for 7:23, while LSU had 255 yards on 21 plays having the ball for 7:37.

2008 Florida LSU was pretty bad. Down 17-0 in 1st Qtr. Florida had the ball for 11:14, 22 plays, 196 yards. LSU had if for 3:46 8 plays, 4 yards (2 Punts and an interception).

I’ll never forget that game. That was my wife’s (no pics) very first college fb game. We had seats on the LSU side at the 45 six rows up. When Lavalais smacked into Williams and drove him backwards you could almost feel the shockwave coming off the field. Helluva hit. Tuberville just bent over, put his hands on his knees and looked like he was about to vomit. The wife has been to many, many home and away games since that one. Including the last one against Clemson.

But that one right there made her forever LSU. She loves her Tigers.

When I saw this thread I immediately had a game pop into my head. But, I didn’t post because I wanted to rewatch it just to make sure I remembered it correctly. I did.

For me, it is the first qtr of the 2019 season vs Georgia Southern. This is the best for me for multiple reasons. First, all we had heard for years was how we were going to open up the offense etc and NO ONE was going to believe it until we saw it.

Not only did LSU almost execute the offense flawlessly, it’s important to remember that there was zero 1st game of the season mishaps or sloppiness.

Next, we forced consecutive 3 and outs on defense. Then, our phenom freshman returned his first two punts of his career for 35+ and 20 yards. We finished the qtr 21-0 with 3 separate tigers scoring, at least 6 different players caught passes, and we had one penalty.

On GS’s final possession of the qtr they finally got a first down, but Lawrence had a strip sack that Queen was close to returning for a td. We end the qtr in the red zone with zero signs of slowing down.

AND above all that-the TD scoreboard forum was at its absolute peak shocked positivity level of all time. It was insane. Literally every tiger fan witnessing the game was asking each other if this was real life and no one could believe it.
