HANAGRIFF: There's a Catch to LSU's Resurgence — And It's a Big One

LSU's Who 

In early November of 1982, the LSU Tigers carried a sparkling 6-0-1 record into Birmingham to take on the 7-1 Alabama Crimson Tide. 

It was the final season for Bama under Bear Bryant, and they were once again strong contenders for the National Title.  LSU was coming off a disastrous 3-7-1 season the year before, and some were skeptical that the Tigers' record was the result of a weak schedule.
