At LSU I've seen games kill coaches, but not really the program.
Well that is what I was saying in the OP- no one game kills a program forever. But I think that each and every successful coach builds up a program in their own way, and you can have games that kills that coach's program (ie the momentum and the winner's attitude).
The only game I can think of that actually maybe be said to have killed a program was when SMU beat Texas in 1984. That win got the Texas press to come down hard on SMU, and got the NCAA (ran by a Texas guy at the time) to throw the book at SMU in a punishment we now all call the "death penalty."
But even then, SMU still plays football today they just suck way more. So really there is no one game that ever kills a program. There are "program killing games" when the world learns your program isn't what everyone thinks it is.
Half of college football success is perception.
