Not the favorite, but I always think of the '79 game when these type of threads come up. Game was not televised so I chose to work on one of the many indoor chores that day and listen to it on the radio. My wife chose to rake leaves outside.
Just before halftime she comes in and asks the score. When I tell her Bama is behind 17-0, she asks what is wrong. When I tell her nothing is wrong and that Bama is winning the game but they just haven't scored yet, she looks at me as if i'm crazy and goes back outside. A few moments later Bama does score and the half ends at 7-17. In the third quarter, ut has the ball for six plays and gives it up on three of them. A first down fumble, a first down interception, and a fourth down punt. Bama wins 27-17. The game had really turned around when the score was 17-0. Bama just hadn't scored yet! :biggrin:
