The 99 MSU team was better, but slipped up at Alabama. An Alabama that lost to Louisiana Tech the previous week. State was 8-0 headed into that game.
The 98 MSU team kind of backed their way into the championship game. They lost to a bad Oklahoma State team and got killed by a 3-8 LSU team. Lost a shootout to Tim Couch and Kentucky but found a way to beat Arkansas, who was the best team in the West that year by a mile.
Arkansas pissed a game away against Tennessee and ended up 6-2. State won the tiebreaker to get to Atlanta.
They played really well for 3.5 quarters. Had a 7-0 lead and were down 10-7 after three. Returned Tennessee’s ninth punt of the game for a TD and couldn’t hold on with a lead in the last six minutes. Gave up a long TD pass then fumbled the first down after the kickoff and Tennessee scored again.
