I thought so, too. Could have been Missouri in 1978 (LSU has never played Minnesota in football, BTW). Folks are saying it was USC 1979 - I just don't see it with that helmet, although the stripes look right.

(ETA: Ole Miss never had a big M on the helmet - MSU did, at various times, including a MS and MSU in block letters like that - and specifically 73 through 85 is consistent with what appears to be an M in the top picture - the stripes don't look right, with MSU typically having 2 stripes up at the shoulders - I can't find good pictures of their jerseys for the 70s.)
