You have to pay respect to the 1972 drive for 80 yards where LSU beat Ole Miss (LSU was unbeaten at the time) on the final play of the game when Bert Jones threw a TD pass to Brad Davis as time ran out and Tiger Stadium shook big time! The Tigers converted on 4th and 10 several times in that drive, if I remember correctly. So an incredible amount of drama on each snap.

This was the "Turn Your Clock Back One Second" game where Ole Miss fans went nuts on an incomplete pass from Jones to Jimmy LeDoux in the end zone where the play started with 4 seconds on the clock. Everyone thought the game was over, but one second still showed!!!

Maybe most on this board were too young to remember or not born yet, but I was there, and this was the peak years of the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry, so the victory was so sweet!

I remember getting nearly crushed in a stampede exiting the stadium after the game. That was the wildest Tiger Stadium has ever been, even moreso than Florida 2007, Auburn 2007 and The Earthquake Game.

The postgame action that night was surreal. I've been to at least 100 LSU home games in my lifetime, and that was the wildest

Does the Bluegrass Miracle count as a drive?


Yes. It was a 87-yard 2-play "drive."

Note: technically we had go 92 yards since we had a 5 yd penalty after the KO return.

Mike Miley hit a 4th and 11 one night in Columbia, SC (74?) to beat THE COCKS!!


It was '73 as Miley decided to turn pro in baseball and not to play in 74 which pretty much did us in for that season.
