Anybody know when the last time we played * was? * Texas A&M? * Oklahoma (not meaning this past year, of course)? * Michigan? * Oregon State? * Florida State? Stupid questions, but I can't find the answers. Thanks.
T A&M was 1995, the first of the DiNardon't era, a 33-14 loss as an unranked team to a Top 5 ranked Aggies team... Oklahoma, Mich, OSU, I dunno... FSU was a game in the late 80's or early 90's...I think it was Chad Loup was quarterback, because as a VERY young Tiger fan, I can remember Loup I think hitting a wideout for a touchdown on an "out and up" hitch route where Loup pumpfaked on the out route, made the DB bite looking for the big play, and then hit a wideout who had run an "out and up" route over the top for an easy long touchdown early...Which was the last easy thing for LSU that night...
We played OU in the sugar bowl in the 50's I think, not sure of the exact year though. It's in the Sugar Bowl program if you have one. We got slammed. There was a big controversy about LSU spying on OU's practice to learn more about them.
LSU lost to A&M 33-17 in 1995. LSU lost to OU 35-0 in 1949. LSU beat Oregon St 45-7 in 1982. LSU lost to FSU 27-16 in 1991. LSU has NEVER played Michigan.
the wideout's name was Todd Kinchen. WE took an early 7-0 lead on that play; I think it was the first play from scrimmage if I remember correclty. Florida State was #1 in the nation at the time. After that particular play, the RAIN CAME POURING DOWN, similar to the first game of this past year only it stayed for the entire game and did not have any lightning with it therefore the reason they did not stop the game.
