Factor, that 2000 game was Saban's first at LSU, wasn't it? I was there, somewhere in the northeast corner of the end zone. Best I remember, we played them pretty dang tuff considering our offense was not playing up to snuff.
Yep, that was the year we absolutely tanked. I want to say the final score was 30-25. Even though that year was a complete train wreck we still had a chance to win in the end.
That was an exciting 4th quarter that year. 30-28 loss, but it was tied 14-14 going into the 4th.
I don't know if you could call it "chance to win" unless you were thinking we recover an onsides kick and kick a long FG. Milons scored in the last minute for us to close within 2.
That was the end of our winning streak in Baton Rouge...that one sticks out in my mind pretty largely in past games of this century. Josh Booty and Josh Reid tore our butts up in that game...but honestly, we probably could have come out with a W in that ball game if we hadn't turned the ball over so many times. (3 total, I think) Two costly fumbles in the second half.
