LSU Florida 07.

I 've always wondered why this game is considered an end all be all for LSU fans. They've always made this win like it was against the 85 Bears. Florida wasn't number one and I believe LSU might have been favored or it was a close spread.
This Florida team lost 4? games that season. The week prior to this win Auburn had beaten Florida in the swamp and the game was a lot more dominant on Auburns part than the score indicated.
Also I believe this Florida team got RAILED by Michigan who had lost to App State.
Just never saw what the big deal was in beating a team you are supposed to beat.

No matter what the rankings and records are, everyone gets up for the LSU/UF game annually.

This one was a red hot #1 LSU team vs #9 Florida team with Tebow, whom everyone already assumed would win the Heisman.

quote:
The 9th-ranked Gators traveled to Baton Rouge to take on the top-ranked Tigers. Early on, it appeared that Florida was heading for a big win when they raced out to a 10–0 lead. The two teams then traded punches, scoring two touchdowns each to make it 24–14 late in the third quarter.

LSU rallied behind Matt Flynn to score a touchdown to cut it to 24–21. Then they stopped Tebow and got the ball back with just a few minutes left. They faced a fourth and two in their own territory, and got it. Not even a minute later, they faced another fourth and two. They converted that one as well.

By now, they were on the Florida 12-yard line. Once again, the Tigers faced a fourth and 1. But rather than kick the game-tying field goal, Les Miles ordered a dive play. And for the fifth time in the game, the Tigers converted. Soon after, LSU took the lead when running back Jacob Hester bulled across the end zone with 1:09 left.

But Tebow had one more shot. In three plays, he'd gotten Florida across midfield. There was time for one more play—a 45-yard Hail Mary. It was batted down in the end zone and LSU hung on, 28–24.
