vs Lee Corso and Indiana. LSU won, 24-17 avenging the 24-21 loss the previous year in Bloomington. DE (and punter) John Adams ran an interception back 73 yds for a TD before halftime to put LSU up 21-7.

Look at all of that free parking behind the South endzone that LSU wasn't making money off of.

I spent too much time trying to find one from the IU game. It was a night game and I couldn't. I can tell by the scoreboard in the SEZ it was before 1981, so this was either the Ole Miss game in '78, Florida State game in '79 or Ole Miss game in 1980.

I was 100% confident that upper deck didn't open until 1979. All these years I thought it opened Cholly Mac's last season. Surprised I forgot that.

Didn't they have them until fairly recently?
I believe it was 2007 or 2008?
