That 79 USC team may be the best ever, talent wise, to set foot in Tiger Stadium.
It was also the loudest that stadium has ever been, hands down.
Incredible game. Very glad that as a 14 year old at the time, I was able to be in that number.

In. Sat as a kid in the first row overhang of the North end zone behind the goal posts. What a GREAT game. The Tigers gave it everything they had.

Watched that game on a five dollar youth ticket from the south upper deck, U 17 I think. I don't know if people even realize that had youth tickets back then. Went to five seasons of LSU for like 30.00 a season! ALL the home games. This one was Won except for that terrible face mask call that shouldn't have been called because they jumped before the snap. They just did student body left six times in a row and got the go ahead score.
LSU won that game in every way but the numbers on the score board. I remember walking down the south end zone ramps balling like a baby as a broken hearted 16 year old.
I knew we'd been robbed

I was 13 and to this day the best game I have ever been too. I think many feel that way because this was before the amount of games on TV. It is more personal because we know that only 70,000 saw it in person. Many can claim but only a limited group was there. Love to Benji Thibodeaux. It was not a hold!

I remember it was the only time I cried leaving a game. It was personal for some reason and probably because it was at a time when the newspapers were the only source of info and this USC team was billed as a monster.
Best assemblage of huge men that ever walked on the grid iron and they were coming to little ole Baton Rouge, a place that most of the USC team had never seen on the map.
LSU made sure they remembered it after that night. And the fans stood and cheered for a long time after the game was over to the surprise of USC. They had never been to an away game like that. The walk in the park they were expecting turned into a nightmare they barely escaped.
It is one of three games I'd like to relive. And to think we lost….Everyone who was there will tell you it was the best game they ever say and LSU LOST!!!
That tells you how proud LSU played and much the fans were there to support them. Magical night in Deaf Valley.

My cardiac condition began that night. My ears were still ringing and my head was still pounding hours after the game was over.
A college football classic!

I will always remember that game. I was 13 and a huge USC fan at the time. My parents put me on the Greyhound bus in Shreveport and I stayed in Kirby Smith with my cousin. Sat in the North end zone. Left the game a Tiger fan.

Has anyone ever found a video copy of the 1984 USC game? I remember listening to that one in the radio. Would be good to watch that one.

I was in my office in the U of South Carolina listening to WWL. We were robbed.

I was there....my senior year of undergrad...was in the student section with a non student date who used a regular ticket....it was truly heartbreaking; especially the penalty against Benji (against whom I played in high school)...once that happened we know deep down how it would turn out....To this day the best LSU game I have ever seen live (I was not there for Fla 2007 or Ole Miss 1959-my father was- which are probably the best games ever in Tiger Stadium).

I was 13 for that game sitting in the end zone of the student section as an 8th grader at U-High. I agree that I have never attended a game that matched the intensity since.

3 players from that USC team are in the NFL Hall of Fame...

Seems similar to the LSU/Alabama game in 2012, but even a bigger deal.
I would relive that game if I could, even though we lost.

just imagine how great the game would have been had it been played in Dallas, Atlanta or Houston.

That game showed old school LSU football at its very very best....times have changed...

Would be appropriate for the SEC network to show this game now that they're affiliated with ESPN.
The game was shown on ESPN - but not live. They were a fledgling network then and that was their thing; broadcast games on a delayed basis. So there should be a tape of it available in their vault.

I was there, 22 yrs. old. Upper deck. Was an unreal game as far as the crowd noise, even in the upper deck. Will always remember the int. on USC's first drive I believe on a long pass play. I forgot who tipped it and int'd it. It set the tone for the defense.
