8. Auburn has had more than its fair share of great running backs. After Bo Jackson left in 1985, many fans thought the running game would take a serious hit.

He would be drafted 4th overall in the 1987 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, but sadly his pro career never panned out. Who was this underrated Auburn phenom? Brent Fullwood Lionel James James Brooks Joe Cribbs

9. Strange things have always seemed to happen when Auburn and LSU meet on the gridiron. There was the famous "Earthquake Game" in Baton Rouge in 1988 when LSU fans cheered so loud after scoring the winning TD that the earth shook, and it registered on a seismograph across campus. Then there was the night when Auburn's old gym behind the stadium burned to the ground in the background as LSU beat Auburn in 1996. But for on-the-field wackiness, one game sticks out above all others, and that is the 1994 Auburn-LSU game. Auburn trailed LSU 23-9 going into the 4th quarter, but ended up winning 30-26. What on earth happened? Somehow Auburn cheated....They had to have. LSU fumbled 4 times, all inside their own 20 yard line. Auburn intercepted 5 LSU passes in the 4th quarter, returning 3 for TDs Auburn forced 4 straight 3-and-outs, and their offense scored 3 TDs on only 7 plays.
