Wrong. Remember , the key is in the same year a road game and bowl game in same stadium. Not "ever".

Astrodome? Either aTm or UH and then the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Yes on #1. Alabama beat Houston 30-21 in 1970 at the Astrodome and then tied Oklahoma in the Astro-Bluebonnet.

Good guesses on 2 and 3,but not right.

Syracuse in the Orange Bowl

Tennessee was the last team to beat Auburn in Birmingham not named Alabama.

No clue on the Tampa question

ETA - although Ole Miss played them a lot before they (Tampa not Ole Miss) gave up football

I don't think it would be Yech. They have always (I thought) played us in Auburn or Atlanta.

If it wasn't Tennessee I will go with Ole Miss.

We used to play UGA off campus, but that was usually Columbus I think.

21-20 in 1968. Funny story about that game. For whatever reason Shug tried a fg on second down with about :40 left. The kick failed. The Auburn official transcript read after the game. "AU kick from GT 23 on 2 is no damn good."

Well done.

For some reason I remember this...
Remember UGA kicker, Billy Bennett? What was the name of his band during college?
