2004: With the threat of Hurricane Ivanlooming, members of the Auburn football teamspent Wednesday though Friday nights in hotelsas the Auburn University campus was closed, butthe game went on as scheduled.

After Courtney Taylor hauled ina 16-yard score with just 1:14 left to tie the score,Auburn missed its extra point. An LSU personalfoul gave John Vaughn a second chance, and hedelivered the winning point.
2005: The first overtime game between thetwo teams was won by LSU, 20-17, when JohnVaughn’s 39-yard field goal attempt bounced offthe left upright. A 30-yard field goal by LSU’sChris Jackson to start the overtime turned out tobe the winning points. Jackson forced overtime

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes
FOUR OF THE TOP 50Cam Newton has only played seven games
at Auburn, but amazingly, he already owns fourof the top 50 rushing performances in the histo-ry of a school known for its long line of stellarrunning backs. In his Auburn debut, Newtonposted the second-highest rushing total ever foran Auburn quarterback, gaining 171 yards andtwo touchdowns against Arkansas State. Hetopped that against South Carolina, going for176 yards and three scores, then went for 198yards and four TDs at Kentucky, tying theschool single-game record for rushing touch-downs by a quarterback. He added 188 yardsand three TDs against Arkansas.
Newton is the only player in school historyto rush for 170 or more yards in three consecu-tive Southeastern Conference games. Only twoothers rushed for at least 150 in three straightSEC games: James Brooks (1980) and CarnellWilliams (2004). Newton is also only the secondplayer in school history to rush for 170 ore moreyards four times in a single season, joining BoJackson who accomplished the feat in 1985.
MORE THAN JUST A RUNNERCam Newton hasn’t only excelled with his
feet, but also throwing the ball. Newton rankssecond nationally in passing efficiency (180.73)and became the first quarterback in school his-tory to throw at least two touchdown passes ineach of the first five games of a season. No otherAuburn quarterback had done that in as many asthe first three games.
Newton has accounted for five TDs in agame twice this season (vs. Arkansas State andSouth Carolina) and was named SEC OffensivePlayer of the Week after both games. In additionto his rushing and passing efficiency numbers,he leads the SEC and ranks 11th nationally intotal offense (305.4), ranks sixth in the SEC inall-purpose yards (126.0), has caught a pass for22 yards and even punted once for 22 yards.
ON THE VERGE OF HISTORYThrough seven games, Cam Newton is on
pace to become the first quarterback in SEC his-tory to throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000yards in a season - a feat accomplished by justseven quarterbacks in NCAA history enteringthis season, including just three from BCS con-ference schools. Newton is currently on pace tofinish the regular season with 2,191 yards pass-ing and 1,474 yards rushing. The list of quarter-backs who have achieved the 2,000/1,000 mile-stone follows:QB School Year Pass RushDwight Dasher Middle Tenn. 2009 2,789 1,154Colin Kaepernick Nevada 2009 2,052 1,183Joe Webb UAB 2009 2,299 1,427Colin Kaepernick Nevada 2008 2,849 1,130Joe Webb UAB 2008 2,367 1,021Dan LeFevour Central Mich. 2007 3,652 1,122Brad Smith Missouri 2005 2,304 1,301Vince Young Texas 2005 3,036 1,050Brad Smith Missouri 2002 2,333 1,029Woodrow Dantzler Clemson 2001 2,360 1,004
CARRYING THE LOADCam Newton has been extremely vital to
Auburn’s success this season, as he has had ahand in 25 of the team’s 35 (71.4 pct.) offensivetouchdowns, throwing for 13 and rushing for 12.The 25 TDs passing and rushing leads the nationand already ranks second best in a single seasonin school history, just one away from the schoolrecord held by Pat Sullivan (1970).
Newton has accumulated 2,138 yards oftotal offense, with 1,278 yards through the airand 860 yards rushing. That makes him respon-sible for 63.5 percent of Auburn’s 3,368 yards ofoffense, which is ninth most nationally.
OFFENSE KEEPS ROLLINGAuburn’s offense continues to shine under
second-year offensive coordinator GusMalzahn, as the Tigers rank sixth nationally inscoring offense (40.7) and rushing offense(283.7) and ninth in total offense (481.1). In 20games under Malzahn, Auburn has totaled atleast 500 yards of offense seven times. Prior toMalzahn’s arrival in 2009, Auburn hadn’t had asingle 500-yard game since the 2005 Georgiagame - a streak of 40 games.
GAINING GROUNDAuburn’s running game has been dominant
this season, as the Tigers lead the SEC with theiraverage of 283.7 yards per game. Auburn hasfour of the top 18 rushers in the SEC, led byjunior quarterback Cam Newton, who averages aleague-best 122.9 yards per game on the groundeven after not calling his own number on a run-ning play once Oct. 2 vs. ULM. FreshmanMichael Dyer is 10th in the SEC averaging 63.3yards per game, while sophomore OnterioMcCalebb (53.4) and senior Mario Fannin (37.3)have also contributed in the ground game.
Against South Carolina Sept. 25, Auburnhad two 100-yard rushers in the same game forthe third time in the last two seasons, as Newtonhad 176 yards on the ground and Dyer rushedfor an even 100.
Auburn rushed for 367 yards againstArkansas State, 334 yards against SouthCarolina, 311 yards at Kentucky and 330 yardsagainst Arkansas. Since records became avail-able in 1967, Auburn had never before rushedfor at least 300 yards in three straight SECgames.
In 20 games under Gus Malzahn Auburnhas now rushed for at least 300 yards six times.Prior to Malzahn’s arrival, Auburn had just four300-yard rushing games in the previous six sea-sons combined.

EXPERIENCED O-LINE PAVES THE WAYAuburn has one of the most experienced if
not one of the best offensive lines in the coun-try, with four starters returning who have com-bined to make 137 career starts. Senior All-American candidate and Outland Trophy watchlist candidate Lee Ziemba has started all 45games at tackle since arriving as a true fresh-man, while center Ryan Pugh, a RimingtonTrophy candidate, has made 39 starts since histrue freshman season.

Auburn’s offensive line was ranked as thefifth-best OL unit in the country by Phil Steeleand Lindy’s in their preseason publications.
CARDIAC KIDSAuburn has won four games this season by
single digits, including three games that weredecided by just three points. The last timeAuburn won three games by three of fewerpoints in the same season was 2007, and the lasttime Auburn was 3-0 in any season in gamesdecided by three points or less was in 2001,when the Tigers beat Vanderbilt (24-21),Mississippi State (16-14) and Florida (23-20) onconsecutive Saturdays.

this season, 18 have taken less than two minutes offthe clock, while seven have taken more than fourminutes. Fourteen used just four plays or fewer,while 12 others have used nine plays or more.
Auburn held the ball for the final 7:22 ofthe game against Kentucky, driving 86 yards on
19 plays before Wes Byrum kicked a game-win-ning 24-yard field goal as time expired. The 19-play drive tied for the second longest in schoolhistory, just missing the school record of 20plays set at West Virginia in 2008.

In 1972, Auburntrailed Georgia Tech by 14 and Alabama by 16in the Punt Bama Punt game before winningboth contests.
The victory over Clemson also marked thefirst time that Auburn overcame a deficit of atleast 17 points to win since Sept. 28, 2002, whenthe Tigers trailed Syracuse 17-0 at Jordan-HareStadium before coming back to win 37-34 inthree overtimes.
