re: Does anyone remember Nebraska 6 .Tigers 6?

10 years old and there in the upper Southeast corner with my old man. Incredible atmosphere. Amazing finish.

Like others too. Rusty Domingue blocking the field goal then stabbing a dude later that night is always one of the first things I think of with that game.

Domingue got in a fight after the game. I think it was in the median near the entrance to Tigerland. One thing led to another, a knife was pulled...

I remembered it happening just not the details. I was 10 years old with my Dad and Uncle, etc in the South endzone upper at that game.

Yep, I remember being there for that one too! Wasn't it an early season game, maybe season opener?

I was there. Rusty Domingue was the hero that night. Too bad he couldn't just enjoy the moment instead of finding a way to get in to trouble.

The heat and humidity took a big toll on the Huskers. By the time the 4th quarter rolled around, Ferragamo was so tired from the heat and the hits he had taken, he could barely get out from under center

I was there. It was electric and so loud- Tiger Stadium at its finest. One of Cholly Mac's greatest underdog games. Nebraska was gigantic. Mike Fultz, the All-American defensive tackle, was like 6-7, 295 which was monstrous for that time 45 years ago. But LSU's quickness and tenacity on defense game them problems. Robiskie got some key yards. Pat Lyons was the QB.

Domangue made the biggest plays on defense, but it was Blake Whitlatch of Broadmoor who was all over the field. He was a 6-4 250-lb. MLB who ran a 4.6 which was flying back then. I think he had like 16 tackles for the game, his first at middle linebacker against the consensus No. 1 team in the country and a humongous offensive line.

I'll never forget when our kicker missed a long FG as time ran out that sailed just wide right at the very last moment. The crowd gave a long standing ovation to the Tigers as they ran off the field and into the tunnel. They'd just played mighty Nebraska off their feet and nearly won the game! The crowd cheered like a victory as if they'd pulled the upset!

I was in the 10th grade at that time and was at that game. Rusty Domingue blocked the PAT for Nebraska.

I was there. I remember the front page of the The Advocate sports section had an article about Nebraska’s offensive line that week. They averaged close to 300 lbs which was unheard of back then.

I remember at the end of the game Nebraska intercepted a pass. The officials Said the Nebraska player stepped out of bounds and Tom Osborn went ape on the official.
I remember LSU recovering a fumble and LSU’s manager (ballboy) holding the completely deflated ball in the air

It was the first tie I’d ever seen and it was a yucky feeling. Grateful for overtime rules when they started.

Tiger defense shut down future Super Bowl QB Vince Ferragamo! Victorious tie!!
