Few thoughts on the '84 game:
- Same attendance as last Sat
- In '84 we had already tied UF in season opener and lost to ND. We
- Had lost Barbay and Thomas to injuries so our DL was decimated by this game. Andolsek may have started as a true FR at DT (was later moved to OL).
- Dale's pick-6 was one of the great plays in Tiger history - should get more attention.
- John Ferguson was better than Hawthorne but people really overdo the criticism of Hawthorne. He's an excellent broadcaster all the same.
- That was Doug Moreau doing the commentary way back then.

All that and more the season:
- Had beaten USC in LA!
- Beat AZ in TS by 1 in a thriller to open BA's home slate.
- Beat Gumps in Birmghm. in a wild finish.
- Lost Moo St in one of those inexplicable looses to Moo St.(Mr. Bond)
-Went on to Sugar Bowl debacle with Huskers.

All in all a fun season but with such broken potential the injuries as mentioned!
