Rice beat LSU in 1961 or 1962/

Rice has never lost to Bama!

I don't remember but they used to play every year and there were a few close games. Is Rice the one that Carlos Carson had 5 or 6 td catches? Gotta look that one up. Love to have that passing game now, lol.

Rice beat LSU 16-3 in the first game of the 1961 season. The game was in Houston. That 1961 LSU team went on to win 10 straight games and beat Colorado in the Orange Bowl. Rice also tied LSU 6-6 in 1962 and beat the Tigers 21-12 in 1963. Rice was a good team under Coach Jess Neely during that period. I didn’t see the 1961 game in Houston but I did see the tie game in 1962 that was in Tiger Stadium. The Tigers have won the last 5 games with Rice by decisive scores and lead the series with 37 wins to 13 losses and 5 ties.

I was there as a boy in '61,'62'63. Lost tied lost

I was at the game in Houston in 1974 when Charlie Mac opted to kick a late field goal to tie them 10-10. 75% of the people there were Tiger fans and left the stadium bitching about McClendon. I was a student at LSU in 1980 when they beat Jerry Stoval's team in Houston in a driving rainstorm. That was the year we couldn't even accomplish the snap from center. Rice actually had pretty good teams back in the Southwestern Conference days.

LSU fricked

Let me get this straight - your question is whether anyone was alive in the early sixties? The early 1960s. That's your fricking question.

Anyone still alive that saw Rice beat LSU?

Rice had a hell of a good "college" QB in the mid 1960's named Robbie Shelton that gave LSU nightmares. He was very short but very Manzielesque.

It was 1961. Rice won 16-3 in the season opener. My dad told me on that night that it would be the only game the tigers would lose that season. Damn if he wasn’t right.
