1995 - LSU 12, Auburn 6
DiNardo spent the entire year campaigning to "bring the magic back" and that was the night our faith was rewarded. LSU wore white jerseys at home for the first time in 15 years (part of DiNardo's campaign). Auburn had 4 shots into the end zone at the end of the game but came up empty. The string of 6 straight losing seasons would finally be coming to an end.
1997 - LSU 28, Florida 21
LSU's only win over Florida in the entire decade but defeating the defending national champs was a pretty big deal at the time.
2001 - LSU 31, Tennessee 20
Still the biggest upset in SECCG history.
Those games probably seem insignificant relative to the present day but they were huge in LSU's progression from a team that hit rock bottom under Curley Hallman to a team that wins 80% of its games year in, year out.
Will be interesting to see if Tennessee makes a similar bounce back over the next several years. I wouldn't bet against them.

this is just stupid. lsu lost at home to ole miss the following week, then struggled the rest of the year. the next two years lsu had a losing record.

a "big win" isn't the same as program changing. Hell, jim donnan beat UF in 1997 too (by 20 points at that), didn't change our program at all.
Better choise for LSU would be the 01 SECCG (huge win) or 03 Georgia (from what I gather, that's when lsu fans/players/coaches really, truly bought into the fact they could win a title).
