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?
