Independence Bowl ; Kennison and Derrick Mason back to back KO returns


Mason's fields that return the same time that another ball lands never the goal line. I always remember that happening and thinking the play should have been blown dead.

That punt return was classic Eddie. Thanks for posting it.

The call on the video was also vintage Jim Hawthorne.

“The snap is high…Kennison let’s it bounce…AWWW he fielded it and stepped in the end zone!!!

Or did he!?”

Punt Return

Probably my favorite LSU play of all time. That was the first game my dad went to after my mother passed away and I sat in her seat. I remember my dad laughing and cheering as the play developed. It took his mind off my mom for just a few seconds but it was great to see him show the emotion.

Man seeing that punt return and listening to Hawthorne and Moreau gave me chills! I worked for the cable company back then when Tigervision was the shite. So just about every Saturday night I was listening on the radio while working!

That was one of the great plays in LSU history! And Jim Hawthorne's announcing of the return was electric!

Doug Moreau: "this is unbelievable".

Fantastic play in an otherwise miserable season.
