Broyles never got the bitter taste out of his mouth either. In his later days as an ABC analyst with Keith Jackson he rarely was positive in his comments towards the Tigers.
Oh yeah, Brittenum to Crockett was a great tandem. Th.IDE guys kicked arse.

You are right. Broyles never did recover from this game. I would say that this loss was worse than the Game of the Century (1969 #1 Texas @ #2 Arkansas game). Both were extremely tough losses. Broyles could have had 3 NCs in 6 year span. LSU cost us one and Texas took the other. He had Texas down 14-0 and choked. And he should have never lost to LSU with the talent he had on the field. LSU came in and played hard and rammed the football down the field.

Not so fast, Johnny U. When doing color analyst for an LSU game in '78, Broyles gave great props to Charles Alexander, and said after a long scoring run by #4, "That might just be the run to win him the Heisman Trophy."
