so many drop passes
One of the offenders was Ronnie Halliburton. He was put into action when Kinchen went out with an injury in the Kentucky game the previous year. Halliburton dropped more passes than he caught, but caught one key pass in the Drive which lead to Hodson-to-Fuller.

The 1969 Auburn vs. LSU remains my favorite:
TD Pass Starts at 37 Second Mark

LSU ran its win streak to six games by beating nationally ranked Auburn, and securing its own place in the top ten.
Before 1969, LSU had not played Auburn in 27 years, despite sharing a conference. This was not the hated rivalry that it would become after SEC expansion in the 1990’s. However, Auburn had made itself an SEC contender thanks to Ole Miss’ unexpected early season tumbles.
LSU opened the game with an exclamation point. Jimmy Gilbert took the pitch from the quarterback and threw the ball downfield to Andy Hamilton, who scampered 62 yards for a touchdown. For a guy known for his conservatism, Cholly Mac knew when to open up the playbook.
However, Auburn, led by quarterback and future Heisman winner Pat Sullivan, responded with a long touchdown drive of their own. Sullivan would hit Micky Zolfko for a 12-yard score. Things would get worse for LSU when tailback Eddie Ray fumbled on his own 39 and Auburn recovered.
Sullivan would waste no time, finding Connie Frederick for a 33 yard gain. On the fifth play of the drive, Wallace Clark ran the ball in from two yards. For the first time all season, LSU was behind on the scoreboard.
To this point of the season, LSU had never faced adversity. The Tigers were simply beating the tar out of teams. Miami was the only team so far to even come within 20 points of LSU, and the Hurricanes failed to score a point in a 20-0 drubbing. LSU had swamped Kentucky 37-10 and humiliated Baylor 63-8. But now, LSU was down 14-7, and an offense that had been averaging 32.8 points per game now hadn’t managed a first down since that opening trick play touchdown.
The offense would finally get going behind the legs of tailback Jimmy Gilbert, who did most of the heavy lifting. However, it was QB Mike Hillman who found Jim West for the game-tying touchdown 23 seconds before the half. The game was tied at 14.
Despite Gilbert’s success, Cholly Mac would mix things up on the third quarter’s opening drive. He instead gave a heavy diet of running plays to Allen Shorey. The change in running backs worked, and LSU would take the lead back on a Shorey touchdown run.
Auburn had multiple chances to come back in this game. Bill Thomason blocked Auburn kicker John Riley’s attempt. But Auburn’s best chance came early in the fourth quarter. Sullivan found Micky Zofko again, scoring a touchdown from 14 yards out. All Auburn needed to do was hit the extra point. George Bevan would crash through the line and block the PAT, preserving a 21-20 lead.
LSU would have a chance to extend the lead in the fourth, driving from their own 38 to inside the Auburn 10 yard line. The drive would stall out thanks to a penalty, pushing the ball back to the 12. Mark Lumpkin would miss a 28-yard field goal.
Auburn flipped field position, but couldn’t score, giving the ball back to LSU as time continued to wind down. LSU came one first down short of icing the game, forcing Eddie Ray into the game to punt with 1:26 left. Ray, who had fumbled twice in the game, made up for it with his leg, pinning Auburn at their own 10 with a 54 yard punt. It was Ray’s third punt of the game to die inside the Auburn 10.
Auburn’s desperation drive ended when Craig Burns knocked away a pass on the fourth down. Preserving the LSU win and the undefeated season for another week.

1980 Marcus Quinn intercepts in the north end zone and runs to LSU sideline as the team and fans go crazy on the last play(or close to it) of the game me.
LSU had the most GREAT games with auburn then any other school in my lifetime.

1969, LSU calls a half back pass on the first play of the game. Jimmy Gilbert hits Andy Hamilton for a wide open TD. But Auburn came back, George Bevan blocked an extra point attempt late in the game for a 21-20 win.

2005. Vaughn misses 5 field goals and Bowe catches the game winner OT tigers win despite Kenny irons rushing for over 200 yards

Kenny irons
He had one backbreaking run in the first half for a long TD. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen as he mowed his way right through LSU's formidable line.
As the French would say, Kenny "Let's Go" Irons.

I was barely old enough to remember, but my dad brought me to the 1995 “bring back the magic” game. We had tickets dead center of the Auburn section. Our 3rd ticket, for my mom, was on the 50, but very top row, opposite side. My blood officially turned purple and gold that night.
