I remember that one well as a kid listening on the radio. I believe that was the only LSU-ND game not on TV of the eleven they have played.

WTF? I was at that game and Al Coffee didn't lose that game. It was a bullshite interference call on Tommy Casanova that set up Notre Dame's winning field goal. We got mugged by the refs. Notre Dame was #1 and LSU #7 going into the game. The Sunday morning Chicago Tribune headlines said "If Notre Dame is #1, LSU is #1a. I can tell stories about that trip for hours.

On the play before the field goal a sure interception bounced off Casanova's chest. One of the few bad plays he made at LSU. With regard to the film, the game was not on TV. I was 12 years old and remember listening to the game on radio with my friend who was Tommy Casanova's cousin. We were heartbroken. We got them back the next year though. There may be a film because all ND games were replayed on Sunday morning with Lindsey Nelson doing the call.

Joe Thiesman later said "was best pass he threw all day to anyone, and Tommy dropped it!"
Tim Gatewood though said "Cas was in his jock strap all game" !
I too listened to this as 14 yo in heartbreak!

I was there. Believe it or not, I cashed in almost 90 books of S & H Green stamps to get 2 Delta tickets to Chicago. All flights out of N. O. were booked solid when I cashed them in, so I booked from Memphis to Chicago. When we got on the plane the whole plane erupted to see LSU fans board in Memphis. Damn, Still can't believe we lost that game.

George Bevan was a senior in 1969. He did not play in that game.

The same writer for the Chicago Tribune wrote it was the finest defensive football game ever played.

I did hear he dropped a 60 yard bomb from Jones that would have been a sure TD. I have no credible evidence of this, just old stories of my Dad and brother talking about it. Dad was there, brother listened on the radio.

I have the coach's film from Notre Dame along with the radio broadcast. Bought it for my father when he retired about 10 years ago. My dad sacked Theisman twice in that game.
The film is cut and shows play after play after play without commercials or stoppage of game play. No sound.
The radio broadcast is the full game but it's the ND announcers.
