Thus week's game marks the 50th game in the colorful and heated series, with LSU winning about 56% of the games played. Since 2000, LSU has won 60% of the games in the series, including 6 of the last 8 games. An LSU win Saturday would mark the second time LSU has won 7 of 9 consecutive games in the series.
LSU has also won 75% of the games played in Baton Rouge, including 7 in a row since 2000, their longest home win streak in the series in fact. AU is 0-fer in the current millennium, with its last win coming in the infamous Cigar Game under Tubs in 1999 on his birthday. In fact 3 of AU's 5 Baton Rouge victories came during the 90's, with the other two in 1939 and 1901. Terry Bowden is the only AU coach to win two games at Baton Rouge.
This could be AU's best chance in a while to win in Baton Rouge.
I've been to a couple of heart-breaking defeats there. I recall a dropped TD pass in the endzone by Byron Franklin, and an inadvertent whistle from the crowd resulting in a controversial safety as part of the Cajun voodoo.
Trivia: Mike Donahue is the only coach to defeat both schools while coaching at the other school in the series.
