I came here to post this. 0-0 going into the 4th quarter before their OL and Hurts running finally wore us down enough to break off a couple of long runs to win 10-0. Dwayne Thomas was all over the field. Our offense just couldn't do anything. Etling was 11-24 for 92 yards and a pick. Leonard only had 35 yards on 17 carries. Pretty sure he was banged up pretty good already coming into that game, though. Guice only had 2 carries for 8 yards, though. Looks like we had 125 yards total offense.
Great, great defensive battle reminiscent of the 9-6 game in '11. Only with a much less happy result.
By the way, our guys played their fricking asses off against Bama in Tiger Stadium in '12, '14, and '16. Could have won any of them. Probably should have won in '12 and '14. I was devastated leaving all of them, but I can't imagine how much our players hurt. shite.

This, this, this.
The mood in the student section that night must have been that of the 300 Spartans - deep down we knew we were doomed but the bloodlust drowned out all reason.
The worst part is, what should have been a top-10 all-time defensive struggle going to OT 0-0 was ruined by two instances incompetent and/or corrupt officiating directly leading to both of Bama’s scores.
First of all to be fair, the almost fumble return TD wasn’t one of them. His knee hit; I physically saw it.
However, their FG was made possible by a phantom personal foul call on an LSU player who didn’t exist which offset fouls on multiple actual Bama players shoving guys on our sideline.
As for the TD run… legend has it they’re still holding to this day.
