[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 859877, member: 4015"] The history of these kinds of rematches is a mixed bag even with the proverbial "It is hard to beat a good team twice". Two best examples were the 1959 Ole Miss - LSU matchup and the 1996 Florida -FSU games both rematches in the Sugar Bowl. In 1959, Ole Miss had the number one team in the nation playing LSU on Halloween night in Baton Rouge. Trailing the Rebels 3-0, Billy Canon had his Heisman Moment with a long punt return for the only touchdown in the game as the Tigers prevailed 7-3. The Sugar Bowl rematch was a different story as number 2 Ole Miss handily beat number 3 LSU 21-0. In 1996, the #1 Gators lost to #2 FSU 21-24 but then in the rematch in the Sugar Bowl the #3 Gators waxed the #1 Seminoles 52-20. Maybe there is something to that beating a good team twice theory. We will find out Monday. [/QUOTE]
