Four of the LSU Tigers games from the 2021 campaign made the list for the top 100 games of the season (subscription required). Not all of them are on the winning side of things.
No. 61: Auburn 24, LSU 19
LSU came into the game at 3-1 and looking to continue their winning ways against Auburn in Death Valley. However, they had other ideas as the Purple and Gold forgot how to sack Bo Nix. He was able to get his team off the losing end in Baton Rouge for the first time this century.
What ESPN Says…
The Bo Nix game. Auburn won in Baton Rouge for the first time since 1999, thanks in part to … whatever this was.

No. 59: Alabama 20, LSU 14
LSU came into the Alabama game reeling. Losers of three of the last four games and needing to get two wins in their final four to become bowl eligible. The defense came after Bryce Young, Orgeron called for fake punts to the backup tight end. They laid it all out on the line but failed to pull off the upset with multiple chances late in this game.
What ESPN Says…
Coming off of a bye week and playing with nothing to lose, LSU threw things at Bryce Young that it hadn’t shown all year, and it worked. Alabama scored 20 points in a five-minute span midgame but was otherwise held scoreless, and LSU twice had the ball in Bama territory with a chance to take a late lead but couldn’t get the job done.
