While recent games in the 2010s were lopsided, all 6 games in the 2000s were decided by ten points or less, and some of the games had wild outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps no Tennessee-LSU game had a more wild finish in recent memory than the 2010 game in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1pLpIQOYvzA\">LSU won the game with a touchdown several minutes<\/a> after the teams and fans thought the game was over. After a bad snap in the closing seconds by LSU, Tennessee fans and team celebrated the win. However, fans then learned that Tennessee was penalized for too many men on the field. This gave LSU one more opportunity, and it led to a touchdown and an LSU victory.<\/p>\n<p>LSU and Tennessee have squared off in the SEC Championship Game twice &#8212; in 2001 and 2007. LSU won both games.<\/p>\n<h3>Last 5 Tennessee vs. LSU Games<\/h3>\n<div class=\"gamesgroup\">\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag tennessee-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">TENNESSEE<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">40<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag lsu-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">LSU TIGERS<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">13<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">Tiger Stadium - Oct. 8, 2022<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag lsu-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">LSU TIGERS<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">30<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag tennessee-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">TENNESSEE<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">10<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">Neyland Stadium - Nov. 18, 2017<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag lsu-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">LSU TIGERS<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">38<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag tennessee-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">TENNESSEE<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">7<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">Neyland Stadium - Oct. 15, 2011<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag tennessee-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">TENNESSEE<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">14<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag lsu-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">LSU TIGERS<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">16<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">Tiger Stadium - Oct. 2, 2010<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag lsu-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">LSU TIGERS<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">21<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag tennessee-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">TENNESSEE<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">14<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">Georgia Dome - Dec. 1, 2007<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><BR><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>.gamesnapshot { width:18%; float:left; margin-right:2%; padding:15px 15px 0; border:1px solid #e2e2e2; background-color:#f6f6f6; }\n\t\t\t\t\t.gamesnapshot .rightcol-article { border-top: 0 !important; margin:0 0 10px !important; height:35px; }\n\t\t\t\t\t.timeago { color:#000 !important; font-size:14px !important; } \n\t\t\t\t\t.score { font-size:18px !important; left: auto !important; right: 0; }\n\t\t\t\t\t.gamedetails { height: 15px !important; margin: 0 0 5px !important; }\n\t\t\t\t\t.date, .stadium { left: 0 !important; color: #000 !important; font-size:12px !important; line-height:15px !important; text-transform:none;}\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width:1000px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.gamesnapshot { width:31%; margin-bottom:15px; }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width:778px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.rightcol-article { border-bottom: 0 !important; }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.rightcol-article .flag { display:inline-block !important;}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.timeago { left: 35px !important; top:0 !important; }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.score { left: auto !important; }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.gamesnapshot { width:47%; margin-right:3%; }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.date { left: 0 !important; }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n<h3>Recent Articles<\/h3>\n<div id=\"matchup-articles\">\n<div class=\"matchuparticle\">\n<div class=\"matchupimage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/tennessee-football\/hayes-is-tennessee-really-a-playoff-contender-were-about-to-find-out\/\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/USATSI_19107815-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"matchuptitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/tennessee-football\/hayes-is-tennessee-really-a-playoff-contender-were-about-to-find-out\/\"\/>Hayes: Is Tennessee really a Playoff contender?
