For games I saw in person in the Dome (I saw almost all the games mentioned here on TV), I say this was [B]the worst[/B]:

But I've seen even worse games than that on the road - at WV 1972 (43-12) (Danny Buggs!) and at Temple 1979 (49-17).

The strangest game at the Dome was 1980 vs Temple. 
[URL='https://www.upi.com/Archives/1980/10/11/Quarterback-Dave-Warner-threw-for-one-touchdown-and-ran/9795340084800/']Quarterback Dave Warner threw for one touchdown and ran for another Saturday, leading Syracuse to a 31-7 triumph over Temple in a game marked by a five-minute delay due to a fourth-quarter fight. Temple's Colin McCarty was removed from the game after getting into an argument with fans who were jeering him. McCarty made an obscene gesture at the crowd of 36,485 as he left the field.[/URL]
The fact is, the entire Temple team left the field and it wasn't clear if the game was going to be called off at that point.  Eventually they came out of the locker room to a chorus of boos and finished out the game.  Very ugly.

[B]The best[/B] was Purdue 2022.  All that scoring and lead changes in the 4th quarter, frankly is up there with the 1984 BC-Miami game, albeit the score after 3 quarters was 10-9 in this one... but it was basketball game-like ending.
