re: 1997 Independence Bowl #15 LSU vs Notre Dame

I do not know of another game that LSU played an opponent and that opponent had zero penalties and zero turnovers.

That's the game Notre Dame turned in against LSU on Nov 15, 1997.

LSU would beat them a month later in Shreveport by the final of 27-9. That score is a better representation of "what if these teams played" than the score we saw in November 1997. Rondell Mealey went off with 222 yards and 2 TDs.
