It's important because it was pointed out only by media to hype up the game two years later and it was such a non-story that it took 2 years before anyone outside of the LSU geology department knew about it. The USGS does not have any recorded earthquakes for that night, either.

The key, however, is that most big games with defining plays register on the richter scale at LSU's geology department. Just something they don't want to tell you because it ruins how "special" that game has become in LSU lore.

Well given that they don't have one any more, it is a nice little quirk in the stadium's history. I'll tell you where they don't register on a seismograph, Neyland Stadium. World's quietest 100,000.

My first game ever with my dad. I was 5 years old. Will always be special to me. My mom was upset that she wasn't there.
