What is it about the configuration of the stadium that will not allow us to make the earth move again?
It has everything to do with the people sitting in the configuration.
79,000 back in 1988 were louder and much more raucous than the 102,000 of current day; many of whom are of the Free Corporate Tickets, See and be Seen, No real connection to the University, Leave at half-time, Gotta beat the traffic, Go back to their tailgate for more alcohol snowflake newbie category......

This is obviously not the right answer. While today’s crowds are probably less raucous, they certainly react just as much to the big moments in the big games.
As someone pointed out above, there was nothing about the Earthquake Game that hasn’t been replicated a dozen times before and since. In short, it was sensationalism to begin with, but it makes a good legend.
