started in Gainesville and ended in a 21-21 tie. WTBS showed a handful of night games in 1983, including LSU at Tennessee but they started their 11:30 package which became JP,etc. The first game was this LSU-Florida game.

Florida had played a game a week earlier vs defending champion Miami in a game in Tampa where they lost 32-20,but the Hurricanes scored 13 points in the game's last 10 seconds.

Remember watching this game in Fla that morning and that brutal hot turf UF had then. Was a heck of a team and should have won this! The game after this BA's home opener vs a good Arizona team and we squeaked out a 27-26 W in a classic that wish they would show. I think was Eric Hill that caused fumble at end to preserve?

I think the next game was vs Wichita State. Then came Arizona. Regardless, that Arizona game was a classic.
