My brother and i attended that game and the Gator chop kept losing enthusiasm all game. It was priceless to watch Spurrier slap his sun visor cap and the best was at the bars after the game to hear Gator fans moan and groan.

Joe wasn't known for putting a stop to ugly things, apparently.
For comeptetive games that had exciting finishes that I saw in person, I would vote for
The Gotham Bowl
NU v. Missouri at Missouri in the early 1960s where we won 16-14 on a last minute field goal, and
NU v. Wyoming in Devaney's first year I believe when we beat Wyoming on a 50 yard field goal in the last minute.
Close, exciting, and we won in each case.
