Fourth Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 1, 1938 #9 Santa Clara 6 (Final: 9-0) #8 LSU 0 (Final: 9-1-1)  LSU received what it wished for as it was tabbed for a rematch with Santa Clara after the previous year's upset loss. And the Tigers seemingly took advantage, out-gaining (201-101) and out-first downing (10-4) the Broncos. However, LSU could not break into the end zone despite multiple opportunities. On the opening drive, LSU forced a fumble and drove to the Bronco four, only to be stopped by a saving tackle by Al Wolff. Santa Clara used a trick play by halfback James Barlow - who faked the sweep to his left and passed back across the field for a 20-yard gain to the LSU nine-yard line. On the next play, Bruno Pellegrini lofted a perfect pass over the shoulder of end Jimmy Coughlan for the lone score of the afternoon. The game's final play went according to the script of the day, as LSU's Young Bussey connected with Ken Kavanaugh, who briefly looked as if he were getting away. However, Santa Clara's Bill Gunther brought the big end down at the 23 -- the final in a series of touchdown-saving plays by the scrappy Broncos.
