LSU wrapped up it's first ever national championship in the 1/1/59 Sugar Bowl vs. Clemson. (Yeah, I know- they'd already won it because there was no poll after the bowl in the bad old days. But modern eyes wouldn't have seen them as deserving if they'd lost this just as we had to beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl a year later make ours really count for all time.) I think this year's game will look a bit different than this 7-0 classic. It was all about defense in those days.
