re: LSU vs. Notre Dame. November 21, 1970

I went to both games. Prior to the 1970 game the Chicago Tribune touted the game as a battle between an unstoppable force (ND) and immovable object (LSU). But the writers there weren’t knowledgeable about the SEC....they thought Tulane was still in the conference. The weather was reasonably good that day.....no rain. In the first quarter ND almost scored but lost a fumble inside the five yard line. The battle went back and forth until 2 or 3 questionable interference calls were made against LSU at the end of the fourth quarter which allowed ND to kick the winning field goal. The next year in Baton Rouge LSU’s defense was phenomenal. Ronnie Estay was that immovable object and accounted for many stops. And the offense put up 28 points to win by 20 points.
