GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Never has a 17-16 LSU victory felt so good since the only other Tigers' 17-16 win in their storied football history.
You know the one.
LSU 17, Ole Miss 16 in 1972.
MVPs for the Tigers that night were quarterback Bert Jones and running back Brad Davis, who hooked up for the game-tying TD as time expired, place-kicker Rusty Jackson, who kicked the game-winning extra point, and the Tiger Stadium timekeeper, who stopped the clock with one second left after an incomplete pass to allow one final LSU play.
If you were in Death Valley that Saturday night, it felt like unbeaten LSU stole a game it deserved to lose.
