BATON ROUGE — The LSU-Auburn rivalry—The Tiger Bowl—dates back to 1901, when Auburn won the first meeting played in Baton Rouge. 

Now, more than a century later, LSU is heading to Auburn for the Tiger vs. Tiger matchup. Currently, LSU leads the series with a record of  33–24–1.

Some of the highlights of the decades the teams have sparred include 1994's "Interception Game," when LSU quarterback Jamie Howard threw five interceptions, leading to Auburn's 30-25 victory.

But one year later, it was LSU's "Bring Back the Magic Game," where the Bayou Bengals wore white jerseys at home for the first time in 15 years. This game ended when LSU intercepted an Auburn pass in the end zone, preserving a 12-6 lead for the win.

The most famous Tiger vs. Tiger game came years earlier in 1988. On Oct. 8, there was 1:47 left on the clock in Death Valley when LSU had the ball on the Auburn 11-yard line on fourth down. The score was 0-6, Auburn leading, when LSU drove the ball into the end zone. 

The result was a crowd eruption that registered as an earthquake on the seismograph at LSU's Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex about 1,000 feet from Tiger Stadium. 

"It's always been loud in Tiger Stadium," 1988 LSU quarterback Tommy Hodson recalled. "I'm glad that professor left the machine on, so we became part of history."

LSU plays Auburn for the 59th time on Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium at 11 a.m. The game will be broadcast on WBRZ.
