LSU beat him 20-10 in Birmingham 3 weeks later, and I think he announced his retirement following that game.



Incorrect. Bryant didn't announce his retirement until December of 1982, about two weeks after the Iron Bowl. The loss to Southern Miss in Bryant-Denny is the straw that broke the camel's back. Losing to Auburn merely reinforced his decision.
