1997 vs Florida and the similarities are eerily undeniable. That Florida team was also on record pace scoring 82 in their second game with Doug Johnson breaking NCAA records only playing halves of games (7 TDs in one half). That team featured the SECs two most dangerous weapons in Jacques Green and Fred Taylor, the nations top DC Bob Stoops in his second season with the Gators. Even the numbers are so very close.

We’d always go into that game hyped and Florida would just stop our run game cold and crush us. That night the first drive when Faulk gained a nice chunk early you knew it was going to be different.

lol they printed shirts that said "You always remember your first time in Tiger Stadium" and it had the score and date I suppose. Wish I had gotten one way back when.

I think Im gonna watch that game tommorow.

Cedrick Donaldson and reincarnation of the Chinese’s bandits. It may take some outside the box thinking on defense like that until White gets into the game. Maybe Phillips and Joseph in hybrid roles with a lot of DBs on the field playing bend but don’t break and stopping the big play at all cost.

What was the line in 99 UF game?
Posted on 11/1/18 at 8:17 pm to Madking
What is even crazier is we went 9-3 that year, co-champs of the western division, finished 13th in AP poll...and played in the Independence Bowl.

lol I remember students taking their keys out and on the after show Jim Hawthorne was like IDK what they were doing! And Doug had to say "I think they're saying start the bus" or something like that.
And my husband CAMPED OUT for tickets to the Indy Bowl! lol

the great ron franklin called that game
" faulk has 5, has 10"
todd mcclure was so pumped up. that was one of the best o lines in LSU history though. along with 1987 and 2003.

Came out flat vs ole miss the week after Florida and choked the Auburn game when Cecil ran all over them. Inexcusable

This thread was bringing back some nice memories, then you went ahead and ruined it.
Good to see you back, Madking.
