In the first SEC road game I ever attended, the Bulldogs scored the upset over the Gator Bowl bound Rebels to finish at 6-5, their first winning season since the 1963 Liberty Bowl season.  The Rebels were playing without star QB Archie Manning, who had broken his arm earlier in the season.  That mattered little to me.
