re: What was the most near perfect game you can remember?

LSU over Bama at Legion Field, 1982. LSU was 7-0-1, Gumps 7-1 with an 11 year win streak over us. We won 20-10 but the score was deceptive. The Tigers held the Gumps to zero first downs in the first half, 119 yards total, and forced 7 fumbles (recovering 4). It was total domination after years of heartbreak.

It was the worst beating Bama had taken since the 60s, and after the game, Bear Bryant said maybe it was time to retire. Welp, he did after that year and it was glorious as when Steve Spurrier’s career as a college HC ended with a Les Miles mercy knee.

I was young AF then, but I will always remember that game. My hatred of Bama goes wasaay back, and 20-10 will be on my gravestone.
