Tres bon

the next coach at Arkansas.

On October 25, 2003, LSU Tigers football dominated Auburn Tigers football 31–7 in Tiger Stadium. It was a statement win during Nick Saban’s national championship season.

Coaches

Nick Saban (LSU) — building a disciplined, physical team that would soon win it all.

Tommy Tuberville (Auburn) — brought in a talented but inconsistent team.


Key Moments

Auburn tried a pregame stunt, stomping on the LSU logo at midfield. It backfired badly.

LSU’s defense mauled Auburn, allowing virtually nothing on the ground.

QB Matt Mauck led efficient scoring drives and avoided turnovers.

RB Justin Vincent rushed for over 100 yards, setting the tone early.

Auburn kicker missed a PAT after a penalty on the first attempt, and Auburn never recovered momentum.

Tiger Stadium roared the whole night as LSU imposed its will.


What Followed

LSU improved to 8–1 and stayed in the national title hunt.

The defense finished the year ranked No. 1 nationally.

LSU went on to win the 2003 BCS National Championship over Oklahoma Sooners football.

The Auburn rout became a defining “don’t poke the tiger” moment for that championship run.


This October 25 game is still remembered fondly by LSU fans as classic Saban-era dominance.

For in a scant 14 days the LSU offense will rise like a phoenix. Nussmeir will be completing screen passes, plants, and maybe even a go route or two. You will see a defense so inept it tries to redefine the very meaning of defense; it will save Brian Kelly.

Tres bon- you friendly little razorback troll here to tell you everything is .....tres bon.
