I have two mention two unbelievable if somewhat obvious comebacks, both of
which I was privileged to attend in person, but both of which ultimately proved
unavailing. Even though we lost both games, we showed America the 'Cats go
down but not out:
1) Down 24-7 in Pasadena, we stormed back to take the lead vs. $C. The
turning point in my mind will always be when the refs took the 2-point conversion
we made off the board. I'll still always be proud of the 'Cats for never
giving up.
2) Down 21-0 to Payton Manning & his Vols, we storm back the next year at
the Citrus Bowl (It was stilled called that, remember?) to tie the game.
Turning point vs. NU: Manning to Peerless Price over the middle right before
halftime, and PP takes the ball to the house. We never recover and have a
horrible 2nd half. But nonetheless, we did come back in a hurry that day. Anybody
remember how quickly we were able to get those 3 scores? If memory serves,
didn't we recover an onside kick in this game, as well as in the Rose Bowl,
which I failed to mention above?
