1973 Sugar Bowl vs Notre Dame
Outside of Auburn any year and Penn State 79 the most intense game I ever witnessed. No one ever sat down during the thing. Old Tulane Stadium.
Only game I ever saw people go WTF to Bryant. One, Bama is down 24-23 with about 3 minutes left and the ball at midfield punting. We get a roughing the kicker call on 4th down but instead of taking the penalty and 15 yds Bryant declines and Notre Dame gets the ball at the one where it was downed. We hold for 2 plays and burn our timeouts and on 3rd and long Tom Clements hits Robin Weber for a first down. Game over.
The other being the offense moved the ball with Richard Todd at will and zero with Gary Rutledge. Bryant kept putting Rutledge back in and it was like, WTF?

It was a 'running into the kicker' and only a 5 yd penalty. Still would have been 4th down.

Wasn't there, but that is the first game I can remember watching. Well, I don't remember too much about the game but I do remember how all the grownups were salty as frick after it was over
First one I saw in person was the 79 Sugar Bowl, which had a much better outcome.
