Here’s a look back at their lastfive meetings, three of which was well worth the price per head for fans who went to the games.
1) Tigers get Swamped – 2008

When Tebow scored in the second quarter, he made a telephone gesture tothe LSU fans at Death Valley. But the Tigers fought back from a 17-7 halftime deficit in thisclash of unranked teams, and LSU ran for 247 yards in a 28-24 win, en route to their second BCSchampionship since 2003.

But it was Tebow whothrew for touchdowns on his only two pass attempts in a 23-10 win over the Tigers, and he alsoran for one as well. The Gators went on to win the BCS title.
