​What is in a name? The name of the website you are likely reading this on is built on a defensive fight, a massive upset, a play, and a crowd reaction so boisterous that it registered on a seismograph, a geological tool that detects seismic waves in the ground caused by volcanic eruptions and, of course, earthquakes. LSU in 1988 was led by head coach Mike Archer in his second season. The Tigers were 2-2 heading into the October 8 matchup with the No. 4 Auburn Tigers, who were 4-0, led by head coach Pat Dye. As mentioned, it was a defensive fight. Auburn led 3-0 at halftime on a 41-yard field goal from Win Lyle. To put the defensive battle into perspective, LSU trailed Auburn in total yards at halftime, 145-54. The teams punted a combined 12 times in the first half, and Auburn’s Reggie Slack threw an interception. After a third quarter that saw Slack throw his second interception of the game and quite a few more punts, Lyle added another field goal to make it 6-0 Auburn. After some more back-and-forth, LSU took over at its own 25. Quarterback Tommy Hodson stayed cool, moving the ball downfield and converting two fourth downs on the drive. After driving into Auburn territory, Hodson dropped back and looked for tailback Eddie Fuller, wide open in the end zone, but Fuller bobbled the ball and the pass fell incomplete. The first fourth-down conversion came on fourth and nine to Willie Williams, who caught it near the numbers for the first down. On the next play, Fuller got a chance to redeem himself. Hodson rifled one to Fuller in the back of the end zone, but Fuller was ruled out of bounds. A couple more incompletions later, on fourth and 10 from the Auburn 11-yard line with 1:47 left in the game, Hodson took the snap, dropped back and fired another pass to Fuller in the back of the end zone. This time he was in bounds for the touchdown, his redemption on the third attempt. And the Valley shook. The cheers of a likely victory rang out for 15 to 20 minutes and were so loud they registered on a seismograph 1,000 feet away in the Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex. LSU forced a turnover on downs to seal the 7-6 victory. The game has been known ever since as the Earthquake Game.LSU and Auburn first played in 1901 when Auburn shut LSU out in Baton Rouge 28-0, but since then LSU has taken over the series record at 30-24 (as usual, give or take a few vacated wins). While The Earthquake Game is the most notable, there have been plenty of historical matchups. The Night the Barn Burned came in 1996. Auburn scored a late touchdown and needed a two-point conversion to tie, but the attempt was intercepted and returned for two points by LSU safety Raion Hill, all while the Auburn Fire Department worked to put out a fire at the basketball arena across the street. The Mad Hatter Les Miles in 2007 gambled and won with his questionable clock management, which saw Matt Flynn throw a touchdown pass to Demetrius Byrd in the corner of the end zone with one second left in
