LSU v. Alabama 1984

Victory at Alabama. Arnsparger's first year as coach. Dalton Hilliard, Gary James, Michael Brooks, Jeff Wickersham. Good memories. New, great coach who was DC for Shula's great Dolphins teams. A few losses that year that shouldn't have happened, but fun team.
The first drive they went right down the field and scored a TD.

Punt block made the difference, great win but team was not quite ready for SEC Champs...fixed that in 86 and 88

Also, sounds like the old radio announcers - John Fergueson with the play-by-play and I think Bert Jones was one of the color commentators.
They subbed in the great Eric Andolsek onto the OL at one point.

They put the tornado symbol on the scoreboard at halftime. The rain at halftime was = to the 1988 Miami game.

Eric Martin ran the quick slant better than any LSU WR up until last year. He took several slant routes to the house in his career.
Herman Fontenot and Martin were a great 1/2 combo.

I was there and remember it well. Also 82 and 86 and 88. All great wins on the road.

My freshman year at LSU.
It was a glorious time to go to college.

I was there. They announced over the PA that a tornado had been spotted in the area and yet the game continued. The rain was torrential and water was rolling down the aisles like a creek. We won in Bama in 82, 84, 86 and 88 but couldn’t beat them in Tiger Stadium to save our lives.

Jesus, my body hurts just seeing that turf.

I was a freshman in the band that year and we marched at halftime. I was carrying a base drum and rain was just pounding the top of my drum. Scary, but a great memory.

I think they doubled our total yardage that game but we made the most of our opportunities and they squandered theirs.

My seats that game were next to the LSU band. At the end of the game, when LSU was running out the clock, the band played the Ghostbusters theme. It made me forget how cold and wet I was!

As bad as TV was back then, I wonder what it will be like 40 years from now?

Just watched,a great win over the gumps, sealed a losing season for the gumps too. GEAUX TIGERS

I was there! The game was held up for about an hour because a tornado hit Birmingham. We lost at State the next week 16-14. They had a backup QB form Bogalusa names Orlando McDaniel (I think) and he ran all over us.

Games like these are what should be on SEC Network on occasion. Instead of the constant repeats of "SEC Now".

Great road trip. Was there in 82 and 88
