I was 7 years old and i figure it was 1970. My Dad took me to a game where we played aTm and we lost. Back then we didnt lose to aTm and in 1970 we did so thats how i figured what year it was. That the first game that I can remember in Tiger Stadium.

That game was played a few weeks after Butch Duhe died of a brain hemorrhage. LSU lost 20-18 on a last-play Hail Mary from Lex James to Carl Roaches. Two Tigers jumped to deflect or intercept it, both missed, and Roaches caught it on the last play and scored :( One of just two losses that year (the other was 0-3 to Notre Dame at South Bend - another missed INT that would have been a pick-six.) We destroyed Ole Miss 61-17 in national TV on Dec. 5 to win the SEC Title, then lost to #1 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl on a late TD 17-12.
