Best comeback in school history?

[CharlieK]

nope that was the one. One of the most exciting finishes in Cajun history and I was one of only a few people who can say they were there.

I wasn’t there but I saw it on TV. I think old channel 15 showed it. I was a 17 year old HS senior at the time.

In my memory he threw that ball from like the 30 or 40.

His last game too, right? Epic way to end an epic career.

Nailed it. 19 at the time and a sophomore. What a game it was.

The ending of that game was epic

It ranks in my top three ULM endings. The two mentioned here (and I saw both in person) and the FAFO blitz on the last play of the game is the third.

Yes! The FAFO blitz wasn't a comeback but it is definitely one of the greatest ends to a game

Yep same! Next to the NO Bowl win vs SDSU, that game ranks as my most memorable game ever. The ‘82 game others are referencing was just a bit before my time as a big time Cajun fan when I started at UL in ‘87.

I witnessed it from the front row where I always stood when I was a student at UL. I remember the insane catch Quent McCollum made on 4th down and long right on the sideline in front of me, earlier in the game-winning drive.

The comeback against Marshall was one of the best comebacks for sure but my #1 still has to be 1982 against ULM. I was a sophomore at UL and I never saw a comeback like that. It was incredible.

Another extra tidbit about NLU, the Cajuns actually travel to Funroe and beat NLU in 1987…their NC season.

I keep thinking 1982 was a totalteam effort and 2025 was an offensive masterpiece.

I keep think a 1st string QB should be able to turn it on and a.3rd stringer shouldn't.

Then I remember Jake Delhomme was 5th string when Stokley went to him in an act of desperation.

A lot of factors to think about, including Houston being the best opponent. Then I just read that ULM won a NC that year.
