In Gerry Dinardo's second year, LSU trailed Houston 34-14 early in the 4th. Behind Kevin Faulk, LSU proceeded to rush for 186 yards and score three TDS in the 4th quarter to win 35-34, all without throwing a single pass.

God, we've had a lot within the past 10 or so years. The best one that I have actually witnessed in person was Michigan @ Minnesota in 2003. Minnesota was undefeated and very good that year. Marion Barber ripped off 200 yards on the Wolverines defense.

Michigan was down 28-7 to Minnesota. Thankfully with a pick 6, Michigan got the score to 28-21, before Minnesota ripped off a 50 yard Td run to go up 35-21 with 12 minutes or so left to play. That ripped the hearts out of the Michigan fans.

Then, Navarre, Braylon, and Perry balled out. Michigan threw a 50 yard touchdown bomb to Braylon Edwards, a Perry 10 yard rushing touchdown, and a 33 yard field goal to win the game.

I think we put up 31 points in the 4th quarter to win. Michigan - 38 Minnesota - 35. The cheese curds were sour that day.

Highlights

That was the first LSU game I attended.

that game cost Tyrone Nix his DC coordinator job almost immediately afterwards ... he was told to find another job.




I really like that we helped get fathead Grantham fired last year too!

The '74 USC-ND was one of the first that came to mind. It was a Sat afternoon TV game when not many games were on TV. A Davis put on a show.

Surprised no Gator fans have mentioned the '95 UTenn-UF game. I'll let them have the honors on the details but what a crazy game.

For LSU:
OM ''72, '77, and '79

There's not much to mention. They were winning at the half, and then reality set in for Peyton.

Oklahoma State at Texas, 2004 - saw it in person, Vince Young led UT to a 56-35 win after being down 35-7 in the second quarter.

Texas' first half was one of the worst halves I've ever seen a team play. Their second half was one of the best. Great game.
