re: Highlights of 2000 Mississippi St vs LSU overtime game

I was there and it was a great game. One significant play that wasn’t shown was the kickoff return after MSU went up 31-17. We fumbled and several maroon jerseys jumped on it. We had a great special team player (#49 Ryan ????) who dove into the pile and somehow came out with the ball. He was as quoted post game something like ‘I fought to get my hands on the ball and violently head-butted until he let go.’

They had all the momentum and if they had recovered that fumble we probably would have been down by 21 or at least 17. Instead we mounted a great come back.
