28-35, Auburn?



That's nothing, earlier in the season Archie walked into Tiger Stadium with a broken arm, and walked out with a 17-61 loss to LSU.

I enjoyed in the Manning documentary when they went on and on about Archie playing with a broken arm in the Gator Bowl and how awesome he was, then just moved on without mentioning the final score of the game.

Also happened in the 1970 LSU game, which the Tigers won 61-17.

Still, Ole Miss beat LSU two of his three years there so I can't say too much.

As a Saints fan, I can say all the talk about how he was dragged down by bad teams is a bunch of clueless drivel. He never even came close to lifting that team above the morass. He had a great season in '78 and another good one in '79, but outside of that, he was incredibly overrated.

The presence of Drew Brees finally showed those of us who are Saints fans what a great NFL quarterback looked like.
