LSU/Auburn is unequivocally the wildest rivalry in the SEC
- 1988 : Unranked LSU beats #4 Auburn in Death Valley 7-6 by scoring a TD in the closing minutes. The stadium eruption registered as an earthquake on the LSU Geoscience Department's seismograph.
- 1994 : Auburn was sitting on a 14 game win streak as 1-1 LSU came to town. LSU surprisingly led 23-9 heading to the 4th quarter. LSU QB Jamie Howard then threw 5 interceptions in the 4th quarter - 3 of which were returned for touchdowns - and Auburn won 30-26. Auburn had 1 first down in the entire 2nd half and scored 27 points.
- 1996 : The aforementioned "Barn in Burning" - the old Auburn Sports Arena (called the Barn), burned to the group during the game.
- 1999 : Auburn beat LSU in Tiger Stadium and smoked cigars on the field and specifically at midfield after the game. It was Auburn's last win in Baton Rouge.
- 2004 : Auburn wins 10-9 after scoring a TD with 2 minutes left to tie the game. The first extra point was missed due to the a bad snap, but LSU was called for a personal foul and Auburn drained the second one to win 10-9 on their way to a 13-0 season.
- 2005 : John Vaughn missed 5 field goals, including one to tie it in overtime, and LSU beat Auburn 20-17 in Baton Rouge.
- 2006 : Auburn stops LSU at the 5 yard line on the last play of the game to win 7-3.
- 2007 : LSU trails 24-23 with under 20 seconds to play in field goal range. Les Miles inexplicably throws for the end zone and they catch it for a game winning TD with time ticking under 5 seconds.
- 2016 : LSU appears to win on the last play of the game, but per review it is ruled that time had expired before LSU got the play off and Auburn won 18-13. Les Miles was fired after the game, and in all likelihood Gus Malzahn would have been fired had LSU won the game.
- 2017/2018 : 2 games where through 3 quarters Auburn appeared to have the game completely in control (lead 23-14 in 2017 and 21-13 in 2018) only to see LSU rise from the dead and come back and win games in which they were heavy underdogs.

Without a doubt, the hardest hitting game every year on the schedule is Auburn, especially when they come to Baton Rouge. Tuberville talked about it all the time.

Les Miles teams had time management problems.

The worst part about this was the "personal foul" was a new rule about jumping to try and block the kick. To this day it is one of the few times I have ever seen that called.
