Was at the ND game. Just remember watching our linebackers drop back 5-10 yards on every snap and ND just kept hitting dink passes under them. Worse crap I've ever seen.

you could tell we were in for a long season. what a waste of a great offense.

I could swear maybe Herb go hurt and Nall came in?
Yes he did, but you also mentioned Nall "bringing us back" and that did not happen. He played well given the circumstance, throwing 4 of 9 for 70 yards but no TDs. LSU was up 34-20 when he came in. It wasn't his fault the defense gave up three touchdowns, ND missed two of three extra point attempts, one thanks to big #98 Arnold Miller!
LSU was up 34-27 when ND scored its penultimate touchdown, and we all thought the game was going to be tied, but Arnold Miller steps up and blocks the extra point, keeping LSU in the lead 34-33 with 6:02 to play. I was thinking we are not going to let ND steal this one from us, until Jarrius Jackson threw another TD pass to make it 39-34. ND went for two but the pass was broken up. LSU had a minute to come up with something, but failed.
They would later get a very violent safety, but with only three seconds to play.
ND 39
LSU 36

St Jean The Baptiste, this was the ONLY season that I went to ALL of the games as well!! 
I have a ton of thoughts from that season too, summarized as a championship-caliber team ruined by terrible defensive schemes. All but two of the seven losses were by seven points or fewer... to think that ONE more defensive stop per game would have gotten us our first trip to the SEC-CG.
And I do have photos from Ole Miss. We should get in touch and swap game photos (mine will need to be scanned-in).

LSU Bama was a day game - ridiculous loss, Tigers led the whole way - until the 4th quarter.. I would venture LSU had a huge margin in yards gained, but squandered opportunities. Was in the stadium at South Bend - Kevin Faulk had a KOR for a TD. Defense vomited up the game and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And Oh, yeah it was f'ing freezing.

Ole Miss was my favorite road game, the fourth quarter comeback was awesome! If only Arnold Miller would have blocked an extra point in regulation instead of overtime...
The Auburn game was a lot more entertaining than the 31-19 score indicated, LSU was up 10-6 at the half against UF but couldn't get anything going offensively against the Gators (can't blame Tepper for that one). ND was exciting but we blew that 14 point lead in the fourth, and then the Arkansas game was the only game where we looked like a 4-7 team but I'm glad I made the drive to Little Rock (my first of many).
Home games:
Arkansas State game it rained all day (lightning was all over, game would have been cancelled had it been 2015).
Idaho game we started thinking how the frick did we give up so many yards/points against Idaho?
Georgia game we were trading blows with them but we couldn't get that final TD and UGA sure did.
Kentucky game? Wow. We were losing 36-22, led a furious comeback, only to see Couch and Co march down the field and kick an easy FG with seconds remaining.
Mississippi State game is the way the entire season should have gone had Carl Reese still been a DC.
Alabama game? The biggest heartbreaker of them all, had them on the ropes and we let 'em off the hook! They were who we thought they were!!!

I remember 1998 was a shitty season. Big expectations and a big flop.
Posted on 10/12/15 at 9:24 pm to TxTiger82
The 1998 Alabama game showed me that we were destined to NEVER beat them at home again. Up 2 scores and in the red zone. Booty has one bounce off of his hands in the end zone that would have put us up THREE scores and game over. It's picked and returned to nearly midfield. Bama score, onside kick, Bama score. F**K!!!!! We lose
Luckily we won in 2000 and the streak ended.

Went to all but 2 games that year. I still have Andew Zow and Sean Alexander nightmares. The tipped passes for TDs, the onsides kick recovery, just unbearable to think about.

'98 was first year I had season tickets.
Of all the years to revisit, why bring up one that was HORRIBLE???

The 1998 season was unlike any other. We were ranked sixth in the nation the first week of October, and no one had any idea LSU would finish that season 1-7. It was an anomaly. Of the seven losses, only two of those were by more than seven points. LSU was so close to being 9-2 and SEC West Champs to being what they were, 4-7.
Also, that was the only season I attended all 11 games. I was 17, had my mom's gas card, and $80 was always a phone call away. I'm not saying every year should lack responsibility, but it was nice that one year did. I met a lot of nice people from all walks of life, from blue collar folks in Auburn that never stepped foot in an Auburn classroom but would take a bullet for Pat Dye, to Puerto Ricans in Orlando that knew nothing about Gator Football but wore the t-shirts, to black people who lived twenty miles from Oxford who absolutely despised the Rebels and their flag. The Notre Dame fans were super nice and were from all over the US. I was so excited to be there I wasn't even bothered by the cold.
The only "forgettable" game that was a complete blowout was the Arkansas game. I went home and watched the replay and Don Criqui, the play-by-play announcer for CBS, called Kevin Faulk "Marshall" the entire game. I was so upset. Kevin rushed for the second most yards in SEC history, and this asshat couldn't call him by his correct name. What a douchebag.

I had tickets for ND game but took the option to go on a duck hunt rather than see the game. A buddy brought his walkman (remember those things kids.....) to the blind to listen to the game. It might have been one of the my better decisions not to go, I remember a bunch of cursing in the blind as our buddy described the game to us ... Oh ya we shot a limit of

I was living in Memphis at the time, most tiger fans thought DiNardo had turned the corner and this was the year....ugh
I still believed going into the Ole Miss game. They were not all that good that I recall. Drove down from Memphis for the game, Rebels expected to get rolled. It was quite the opposite. John Avery (iirc) ran through over and around the Tepper D.
The comeback was great. The loss in OT was not all that great. It was at this moment that I knew Gerry D was not gonna get it done here.
Very depressing ride back to Mempho

Wasn't Idaho like a hurricane game?
Bama started during day was dark at end and totally insanity maddening!
Beat AU I thought with the purse snatcher reliever?
We were lucky to be in UGA, R Washington had lucky TD that kept us in until Q ran roughshod over us
UK also madding and ND was a game should have won!

Deuce McAllister had 176 yards rushing on 20 carries I believe.
LSU fans were going nuts in Vaught Hemingway during the fourth quarter. The Tigers came back from a 21 point deficit for the first time since the UH game in '96. The comeback reminded me a lot of that UH game. Too bad it didn't come with the same outcome. Herb Tyler played well enough to be tabbed the game's MVP.
Perfect weather that day. Sunny and 75. My first time in Oxford.

1998 LSU Football Season Revisited
Let's not. That was a soul-crushing season.

Getting a citation in South Bend for open container, then Craig Nall almost beating them. Crappiest college atmosphere I have ever been to. It's awful

Things were so bad there were rumors of point shaving....and I heard it from a member of the team.
