Weekend Watch Party: LSU-Arizona, 2006
There are classic moments you always remember between classic teams, and then there are times where you just watched the Tigers eat.
On September 9, 2006, the Arizona Wildcats repaid a 2003 visit from LSU with a game in Tiger Stadium. Arizona was in year three under Mike Stoops, and were on the list of dark horse teams entering this year, led by sophomore quarterback Willie Tuitama.
I can even remember them getting some sneaky upset buzz on ESPN Gameday that Saturday — not so much “hey Arizona’s going to win,” so much as “hey, keep an eye on this one.”
LSU was ranked eighth, returning Jamarcus Russell, Dwayne Bowe, LaRon Landry, Buster Davis, etc...
The Tigers saw the Wildcats coming.
