For 17 years in a row, LSU did not lose a regular season non conference game. It was a truly historic run. 49 straight wins at home, and somewhere in the 50s all together. Huge games against VT, UNC, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon (still my fav), Wisconsin and West Virginia.
It started in 2000 after a stunning UAB loss and ended with a dud against Troy. Folks, the timing of that streak played a major role in creating the bad boy on the block reputation of the SEC as the premiere conference. Bama wasn’t winning those games in the early 2000s, Florida really wasn’t outside of the Tebow years and UGA wouldn’t even play them.
