Dang man, what happened? Did Navy run a wishbone or something? Some offense you hadn’t seen all year?

My guess is they still would have made OK #1 over us for beating #1 Penn State in their bowl game.

Not even close for us. Any true Carolina fan will tell you it's Navy '84.

Dad's never been the same since.

South Carolina was 9-0 under head coach Joe Morrison, ranked No. 2 in the country, and chasing a national championship and Orange Bowl bid.
Played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, the unranked Navy team (holding a 3-5-1 record) stunned the Gamecocks with a final score of 38-21. Ruined any national title hopes for SC.

That game was bad news for your Gamecocks for sure. I remember reading about it in the papers. That was a year when it seemed nobody could stay undefeated except BYU who beat a below average Michigan team in a meaningless bowl game to win the MNC.
