This is completely not true. LSU had nothing but respect for Archie having lost the previous 2 years to him and Ole Miss and respected that he was playing with such a injury. LSU's defense went out of their way not to destroy him or try to further hurt him when it could have been easy to do so. This was so evident that Archie's Mom wrote a letter to Charlie Mac thanking him and his team for not taking advantage of the situation.


I don’t know anything about that letter, and yes, LSU players did respect Archie, but there was definitely payback for Archie beating LSU the prior two years. I didn’t mean to imply that they played dirty, but LSU certainly put an arse whipping on Archie.

Did you watch the game, because I did, and I remember.

That story about the letter was once published in a book. Sorry- I can't recall the name. But she supposedly did write Cholly Mac to let him know she appreciated it.
