1959 Parallels

In 1959, #1 LSU beat #3 Ole Miss 7-3. From Wikipedia:

1959 -Billy Cannon's Halloween Night Run—Late in the game between #1 LSU and #3 Ole Miss, LSU was trailing 3-0. Then Billy Cannon returned a punt 89 yards for a TD, breaking seven tackles. The Rebels then drove down the field but were stopped on the LSU 1 yard line as the game ended resulting in a 7-3 victory for LSU in Tiger Stadium. The Rebels would get revenge however in the Sugar Bowl by whipping the Bayou Bengals 21-0 and were declared national champions by several polls. LINK

Could this be any closer to LSU-Alabama this year? No offensive TDs in the 1st game, both teams in top 3, then a 21-0 trouncing in New Orleans in the rematch?

The stats in the game even resembled this year's BCS title game: 1960 Sugar Bowl
