Wasn't this one of the first ESPN telecasts?


Yes (and no). In their early days ESPN would broadcast games on a delayed basis. I don't remember what broke the TV impasse (maybe a suit filed by OU vs the NCAA), but in '79 there was only one or two live games on TV each Saturday.

The LSU-ESPN game was shown by ESPN on tape delay.

I really wish ESPN (or the SEC Network) would show a replay of this game. They should have it in their vault.
