Clemson and LSU meet in a battle of undefeated teams Monday in New Orleans’ Superdome for the College Football Playoff championship. The venue has played host to a number of great games. Some of the memories are indelible.
1975 Sugar Bowl
On Dec. 31, 1975, Alabama beat Penn State 13-6 in first Sugar Bowl game played in the Superdome. The first college football game at the venue featured a meeting of coaching greats in Alabama’s Bear Bryant and Penn State’s Joe Paterno. The most memorable moment came when Alabama’s Barry Krauss and Murray Legg jumped high over the line to stop running back Mike Guman on fourth-and-1.
