Concur on all accounts. TP.  And let me add that I actually thought we could have won that game if Dubose & staff hadn't abandoned running off right tackle in the 4th quarter.


I remember that McClintock was serving a one-half suspension for actions against CFU (I believe but not for sure). Anyway, when he returned to the FB position in the second half, he and the right side of the OL were blasting holes one could drive a truck through. Remember, Galloway's gallop for a TD.


LSU couldn't stop anything called that way in the 3rd and early portion of the 4th quarter. Then for some reason, the play caller (whoever was responsible) decided we needed to do the same thing to the left side (many times toward the short-side of the field). Unfortunately, LSU was holding up fairly well from that point of attack.


Even my boy, who was 12 at the time kept saying, "Why have we quit running the ball off right tackle?" Big Red & OL was bowling them over on that side. :?



Btw, it was the first time ever in my wife's life that she (a Tiger fan) had witnessed in person a LSU victory over Alabama in Tiger Stadium. She was 8 years old when that streak began.
