| GAME BALL GOES TO ... |
| Eugene Clinton, who scooped a blocked PAT attempt in overtime and before he could be pulled down at midfield, flipped the ball back to Julius Griffith who raced to the end zone for a 2-point
defensive conversion. That made the score 41-37 and gave the Bulldogs a chance to win it with a TD on their possession.

 "As an unbiased observer I think I am well suited to point out one major advantage that MSU has. Joe Lee Dunn is the best defensive coordinator in the country right now and one of the best of our era. He has been making Sherrill look good for a while now. I don't see Texas A&M moving the ball very much. If MSU can keep turnovers to a minimum they should roll. MSU 17, A&M 6."
