LSU vs. Auburn 2007 - Flynn to Byrd 

I was at the game. Folks in the stands were screaming for a TO. Then BOOM!!! One of the best games I ever attended live in any sport.

The balls to make that call.

LSU took their sweet ass time on that play. Very bad clock management but somehow they got away with it. And I'm an LSU fan saying this!

Dude comes to my store almost everyday. Most down to earth man I’ve ever met. What a guy

I was at this game. An amazing pass and even more amazing catch by Byrd! I believe he was in a bad car accident right before the 2009 season with the chargers. You have to wonder how that affected his nfl potential

This was the game where I was with my hubs and all of his friends and I was pregnant. Just days away from delivery. I was actually very happy at this point and I remember looking back at the tv and seeing this play. We all went crazy.

Watched it live with my Dad at BuffaloWW we went crazy along with everybody else.

I almost cried, being an auburn fan, it was a tough way to lose

Fans questioned Miles for not using his last timeout. Fact is if he had, Auburn would have sent a defense out there with a bunch of Dbs and you are not going to get that one on one matchup he got. Also had it been incomplete there was still enough time to kick a field goal.

One of the greatest touchdown passes in lsu history. Oh yeah that tiger band was ragging that tiger rag

Matt Flynn will always be my favorite LSU player

I remember this so well. I was pregnant with my son. We had friends over for the game, I was picking up the mess and I heard the call… I put the trash bag down and watched the best catch! Everyone was jumping up and down including me. So great. My son was born 4 days later on a Wednesday. I will always remember that game.

The balls of Les Miles... My God. This is coming from a UK Fan btw. 😁

Imagine if this fell incomplete and their kicker ended up missing the field goal, the season would be a lot different

Love it. Still one of my favorites

That wide reciever is a security guard at my school

I was at Houston's Restaurant in San Francisco on Embarcadero when this play occurred. My wife and I were screaming, jumping up and down just going crazy. People around just could not understand why we were so excited, one guy said, "It's just college football" wow! You could tell we weren't in the South.

I WAS AT THAT GAME!!!

My wife had never seen this play before and she just kept saying "My god. MY GOD."

It was a close call, but a good one. Auburn's defender was there, but you can't defend a perfect pass and catch like that.

Wow Les was very lucky to win this game terrible clock management

I can remember the announcer saying i can't believe he is not kicking a field goal.

I remember this,one of the craziest thing's I've ever seen!!!

One of the craziest plays from the craziest team of the craziest year of college football.

Yes.

Great pass.

Luckily, that DB is a chump cause he was right there for the pick...

Central Rocket right there

Field goal for the win, but touchdown for the kill

That was great! But that was also another blunder by Les miles. Why not take a timeout. Throw the ball in the end zone. If it’s incomplete kick the ball. I’ll never understand Les’s clock management

I love Les Miles

Tell me this isn’t Johnson to Boutte just now

Now that's Football ...

Les miles my guy for this call

Les Miles if you plan to do this with my Kansas Jayhawks please make sure you have better clock management

Is that Matt flynn?

Shocked nobody Celine Dion'd this.

Lol goddamn les had balls of steel

A 40y FG isn't exactly a guarantee

Flynn wasn't afraid to pass the ball when Miles called the plays, then it was Jarrett Lee that helped us out with the passing, not jordan jefferson. Then it was Mettenberger who was literally our best QB under Miles, just look at the stats of passing yards. The problem is, these QBs come once in a few years, Miles always wants the most mobil QB he can get, example, Jennings and Harris, he eventually went to Harris, who supposedly has good stats this year but still sucks at no full passing attack and isn't that good at completions in several of these games this year, tonight, against Texas A&M he only had 7 passes for 83 yards total. Shameful.

lucky as fuck

Definitely a great throw and catch. However, this game winning TD was only possible due to a blown spot by the refs just a few plays prior to this. LSU instead should have been faced with 4th down and half a yard to go at the Auburn 38 yard line with 2:11 left on the clock in the game. If the refs would have marked the ball correctly, it's either a 55 yard field goal attempt for LSU at that moment or LSU elects to roll the dice on fourth down with an iffy 4th down conversion which could end the game for them right there. Instead of what should have happened though, the refs gave LSU 4 fresh downs at that moment in the game when it should have been fourth down clearly. Go watch the replay on youtube. You'll see what I'm talking about. Watch the replay from 2:32 left on the game clock until 2:11. Pause the video between 2:23-2:22 left on the game clock and note the position of the ball carrier in relation to the first down marker. The refs blindly awarded LSU a first down on this play they didn't earn and it did impact the game. It should have been 4th down at the Auburn 38 yard line with either a 55 yard field goal attempt or a roll of the dice by Miles for a fourth down try.

no its john steinbeck...

Bring Les to Miami.

what happened to this les miles

The last time lsu had a decent qb

Probably one of the dumbest calls in the history of LSU football.

Haha....perfect throw....my butt....oh college football, land of the unaware cornerback play....

Most Les miles shit I’ve ever seen, such bad clock management but still works out😂
