I truthfully can say that La Tech was the biggest mismatch in recent memory and I have been coming to LSU games since 1964. (1) La Tech-2003 (2) UL-M-2003 (3) UL-L-2002 The ONLY reason these 3 games weren't worse on the score board is that Coach Saban just called off the dogs. In the UL-L game it was 41-0 half; in the La Tech game it was 49-3 half. Let's end this in-state charade. GOOD LAWD!!!!
My thoughts, exactly, mojo. 77!!! It was 1977, and you have to back a long way to find another game in which the Tigers scored that many. Rice could not cover Carlos Carson, who had five TD catches and Charles Alexander had a pretty good game also, though he didn't play too much. LSU was good, but not great. The Tigers went went 8-4 in 1977, losing to Stanford in the Sun Bowl. And, they had lost to Indiana the week before the Rice game. I don't know what Rice's final record was that year. They were always pretty lousy then, though. They were really lousy against LSU on that day, so I would have to rate them the worst I ever saw. :geaux:
