I left that game early to watch Mike Tyson KO Trevor Berbeck to win his 1st heavyweight title.

In no way am I asking this in a negative manor, but what makes you think of this stuff enough to post it here? I'm not positive, but I would have to think I was at that game. I was only 11 at the time, but went to almost all of the games with my dad.

That was the year I really got into LSU football. The best. Watched Browndyke miss the kick against Ole Miss from the southeast corner, we couldn't tell except by the reactions. They talked so much crap for the next year. I remember watching most of the 14-10 bama win at my cousin's house, we couldn't sit still the whole time so we went in and out with a yellow rubber small-ish LSU football reenacting Hodson-Davis. Who remembers those footballs? We went through a lot of them, they never aged well. I bet the newer ones are nice.

my dad went to an LSU - ND game in 1985. drove from Carencro to South Bend and he said we ended up winning in a low score game. he said it was cold as shite and a long drive but he does not regret one bit and one of his all time favorite memories

I was there. What a game, and what a team: Hodson, Williams, Davis, McGee, etc.

Alright, Old. . . Thank you very much for that! I was a freshman in the marching band that year and I remember every second of that game!

You made my day!

I was a student at that time. Here's what I remember: LSU takes the opening kickoff and has about a 7 minute drive and scores a TD. LSU kicks off and Tim Brown returns the kick for a TD. LSU gets the ball back and goes on another 7-8 minute drive for a TD. End of 1st quarter, LSU 14 ND 7 and the Irish had the ball about 12 seconds in the entire quarter.

Disclaimer: It was more than 30 years ago, so if I got anything wrong, I apologize in advance.

I was there. My third year at LSU. Lived in Tiger Stadium’s east dorm at the time. That goal line stand was the best I’ve ever seen in person. One of the loudest moments I remember in TS. I wish we had Jim Hawthorne’s call as it was much more scintillating and indicative of the sound when Steve Rehage hit Tim Brown on the 5 yard line. I had a cassette tape recording of it for years. (Don’t anymore) It was a big game because the sugar bowl was at stake. Thanks for posting this! One of my all time favorite games. And Steve Rehage was THE MAN.

Tim Brown straight up the middle. I will never forget that. I was 11 years old at the game with my grandpa.

One of my all time favorite games. First game I attended without my dad. Got tickets from our mayor, borrowed the parents' Caprice Classic (two-tone blue, naturally) and and rode over with a buddy who knew a girl at LSU with a place for us to stay. Doesnt get much better than that.

Would be curious how many Heisman winners LSU has beaten besides Tim Brown

Tebow and Jason White come to mind

Johnny Football, Lamar Jackson
