Tennessee defeated LSU, 30-27 in overtime, at Tiger Stadium on Sept. 27, 2005.
The Southeastern Conference matchup was postponed and played on a Monday due to Hurricane Rita. The contest kicked off at 7:30 p.m. EDT and ESPN2 televised the game.
“After reviewing all of the information, I felt this was the best decision for the game,” former SEC commissioner Mike Slive said regarding postponing the Tennessee-LSU game. “The safety of our student-athletes, coaches and fans is our priority. I understand this puts a burden on LSU and its administration, however, the travel safety issues necessitate this decision.”
