1986 Notre Dame vs #8 LSU (Baton Rouge, night game)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.

I appreciate the question: It was the last time LSU played ND at night in Baton Rouge. It was the last time LSU wore their purple uniform look. It was a classic match up & game in that ND won the national championship two years later in 1988. It was another night game in Baton Rouge against Notre Dame in which a goal line stand affected the outcome of the tight hard fought game.(The first one was in 1971 in which LSU held ND out of red zone position 4 times) It put LSU in front to win the SEC and go to the Sugar Bowl.
