Team (3-way tie): Alabama D v. Miami in 1992 (Prolific NFL talent Miami never saw a defense better than that one). UF D v. Oklahoma in BCS title game (Oklahoma was most prolific offense in college football history at the time). UF v. Ohio State in BCS title game. Nation's #1 offense held to 80 something yards.

Individual: Keith Jackson said Wilbur Marshall's performance v. USC Trojans was the most dominant he ever saw, so I will go with that.

SEC Team v. SEC Team: Not sure about this one. Several games in the SEC history could qualify. SEVERAL.

Team v. Individual star (tie): Alabama v. Fornette ending his H run. Bo Jackson and Auburn's stable of great RB's were held to negative yardage against Florida back in the day. Was living in Montgomery, Alabama at that time and the bellyaching was memorable.

Thurman was a freak of nature. I never understood why it didn't work for him in the NFL.

I think mostly because he kept getting in trouble

Well, it was ball lofted in the air,
who was throwing that ball? You think he just "lofted it in the air"? 40 yard loft? Do you understand how speed/distance/time work in relationship to gravity for projectiles?

so probably more like 0.75-1 second.
just admit you don't know shite about physics (and espcially time) and move on

Auburn and LSU have had a few

2004 : Auburn 10-9 (Auburn 301 yards, LSU 308 yards)
2006 : Auburn 7-3 (Auburn 182 yards, LSU 311 yards)
2012 : LSU 12-10 (Auburn 183 yards, LSU 351 yards)



Gotta add The Earthquake Game to that list. There were 58+ minutes of touchdown-free football before Hodson-to-Fuller, and then another defensive stand to prevent a winning field goal. 7-6 LSU.

Will readily admit that

I'm a bean counter. My expertise when it comes to time, distance and their measurement is miniscule.

My expertise on homer radio announcers is elite, though, as I listen to one 80 nights of the year.

Bama's D held LSU to 92 yards of total O, 2/12 3rd down conversion, and 39 yards rushing on 27 attempts

What is this game you speak of? I do not remember anything like this ever happening.

That's got to be on the list of "epic crappiest offensive game plans"
