re: Random good SEC football games from days past to rewatch on a Sunday afternoon

2006 Auburn/South Carolina

Random Thursday game in the middle of the season. #2 Auburn went the entire 3rd quarter and change without giving up possession of the ball due to a surprise onside kick in between 2 time consuming drives and still had to barely hold on to win at the end. The Ole Ball Coach was playing Syvelle Newton at QB for the Cocks who would end up playing safety later in the season (notably against Florida, which is also a good 2006 game to check out, that game is monikered "Cock Block") and they did well when they had the ball but possessions were limited.

Kenny Irons, the Auburn RB, was a South Carolina transfer. This was pre-portal so that kind of thing was rare at the time.
