34th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 1, 1968 LSU 20 (Final: 7-3-1) #6 Wyoming 13 (Final: 10-1-0)  Glenn Smith, an unheralded New Orleanian, sparked a second-half uprising that lifted LSU to a comeback 20-13 win over Wyoming, the nation's only undefeated, untied major college squad. Smith, who didn't touch the ball until late in the third quarter when he was on the receiving end of a 39-yard pass from Nelson Stokley, gained all of his 74 yards in the remaining time. He scored the first LSU TD and set up the game-winner with a 16-yard run. Smith turned out to be the game's "Most Outstanding," but just as outstanding for the fast-starting Cowboys, featuring Jim Kick at running back, was Jerry DePoyster, who repeatedly kicked Wyoming out of trouble. He averaged 48 yards per punt for the day and had two field goals, one a 49-yarder that helped stake Wyoming to a 13-0 halftime lead.
