The 2007 college football season was a memorable one, and November 23rd marked a particularly thrilling day in the SEC. The top-ranked LSU Tigers hosted the Arkansas Razorbacks in a game that would go down in history.
Arkansas, led by the electrifying running back Darren McFadden, put on a dominant performance. McFadden rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his incredible talent and power. But the Razorbacks' offense wasn't limited to the ground game. Quarterback Casey Dick even added a touchdown pass to the mix, contributing to the upset victory.
The game went into triple overtime, where the drama reached its peak. LSU attempted a two-point conversion to tie the game, but Arkansas defensive back Matterral Richardson intercepted the pass, sealing the Razorbacks' stunning win.
While this loss temporarily derailed LSU's season, the Tigers recovered to win the SEC Championship and ultimately claim the BCS National Championship. Despite the disappointing outcome in November, the 2007 Arkansas-LSU game remains one of the most exciting and memorable college football games of all time, ranking 136th on ESPN's list of the Greatest College Games.
