Classic SU Football games

One of the forgotten great ones, was our nationally televised game against Auburn in 2001. It was the first major sporting event to be broadcast on television after 911. Dome was packed, and it was so emotional when everyone, and I mean everyone sang along to the national anthem, while fighting back tears, and waving American flags with a sense of pride, and togetherness. My how times have changed. I've never been able to find a video of the butt kicking we put on Auburn that night.

Heartbreaker with a last minute TD, but tons of offense. Nassib threw for 470. Season opener if I remember correctly.

Anybody have highlights of Marrones first win? It was over Northwestern...I think Suter had a late game INT to get the team in field position for a 44 yard gw fg...

Should that have been a touchdown at 4:26?

I believe that was the game where the referee collapsed at mid field of a heart attack. You could hear a pin drop when the SU medical staff were performing CPR on him. …they saved his life

Has anybody seen the 1997 Wisconsin game?

I was just randomly watching the SU/Auburn Sugar Bowl on YouTube. One thing I never noticed was that Keith Jackson said during the broadcast that he liked Pat Dye's decision to (edit) kick a field goal. Something all the lines of "both teams played well, they may as well have a tie." Just an awful, awful take from a legend.

“Go for two”?

That was East Carolina game a week or two later. I was there for that one when the ref dropped, but was not at the Auburn game.
