Rick Clausen in 2005 after the hurricanes.

Our entire city was too exhausted to open their eye lids in the second half.

Rick Clausen (a former Tiger ) .

First game in Tiger Stadium after Katrina. Erik Ainge started for Tennessee and was pure shite. We were up 21-0 (lol) and Clausen comes in and leads them back to an OT victory.

More than 1 player:

The rescheduled Florida 2016 game, they had something like 7 starters out, including their top 3 defense players I believe. Appleby connected on this miracle 98 yard TD play as their only TD (he threw for 144 yards, 98 on that one play).

We outgained them 423 yards to 270 yards but lost because Guice went the wrong way on the last play of the game. We didnt score a single point on 3 different drives inside the 10 yard line that game.

Pretty awesome effort though by a bunch of backups from Florida, lot of animosity that game being rescheduled and played in Baton Rouge vs. Gainesville.

2016 Guice


Fournette was averaging 2 yards per carry and Guice came in and averaged 4

Wrecked Alabama's rush defense stats for the game.

Cecil the freaking Deisel in Death Valley 1997. Incredible game that AU somehow won thanks to Dameyune Craig. Kevin Faulk and the backup RB were out for LSU and the third string guy looked like a Hershal Walker clone and had like 250 yards rushing. Thank goodness he wasn't a Bo Jackson clone or else we lose that game.

Actually Fannin was the goal line fumbler. Green fumbled and we ran it back. The wheels fell off for Arkansas after that.

That game was fab great game to see in person. So many close calls. I would have hated to be the replay guy that game

He just goal line fumble and it brought back the triggers. I know the line of "the score really didn't show how close it was" is used all the time but I think that line certainly applies to that game.

Absolutely. It was seriously close. The last few mins, we took it.

I have always said that The Legend getting hurt saved Arkansas. I think we would won easily without Wilson coming in and going Ham.

In that certain situation you could argue that. Wilson had his own issues but was very tough and could definitely move around better than Mallett.
