The call was facemask, but the videoshows offsides by the right guard and tackle.

  • I like how the commentators failed to mention the false start. I'm not sure about the rules back then but that face mask should have been a five yard penalty if it was in effect. Geez. lol.

  • I noticed that nothing was said about the false start. Games back then were televised completely different then they are today. This game was either the first or second game ever televised on ESPN. I believe it was tape delayed and not live.

  • USC was off sides, it was an inadvertant face mask, USC lucks out again. refs paid. then when LSU went to USC years later...WE DESTROYED THEM!

  • I was 8 years old in the stands at this game and I saw the false start, so why didn't the refs who were standing right next to it. Also, even without the false start, it should have been offsetting penalties due to intentional grounding on the part of the USC QB. It's really no use crying over spilt milk, though. Besides, I'm sure LSU has probably won a few games over the years due to missed or bad calls so it all evens out in the end. We got our revenge in '84 anyway. 23-3 in the Coliseum.

  • Always good to watch the Men of Troy dispatch of another SEC THUG TEAM.

  • Word got out in Baton Rouge that USC had practiced with loudspeakers piping crowd noise on their practice fields that week. Loudest game I ever went to. 

  • Always love to watch USC disposing of another SEC THUG TEAM!

  • I'm from Baton Rouge and a lifelong LSU fan, but I never cease to be amazed at the ability LSU fans have to whine. IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS!

  • im a big usc fan and i think that was a false start so the ref was pretty stupid and alot of em are so you cant say the ref was cheating

  • It was a false start on the right side of USC's line.... missed call. Should have been no play and a penalty of five yards.

  • The problem was it was a mixed crew of Pac 10 and SEC officials. It was a Pac 10 official that called the BS facemask. Also, they didn't call the false start, that you can clearly see from 1 mile away. Bad bad refereeing period.

  • i was there. crap then...crap now.

    you cant spell suck without U, S and C
