The low point of the Commodores' season came in their fifth game vs. nationally ranked LSU, coached by Gerry DiNardo, Vanderbilt's head coach from 1991-94. After scoring a touchdown with 12 seconds remaining to cut the Tigers' lead to 7-6, Widenhofer kept the offense on the field, intending to go for a two-point conversion and the win. After LSU called timeout, the Commodores were called twice for delay of game, pushing the ball back to the 13-yard line and forcing Widenhofer to send in kicker John Markham to attempt an extra point which would have forced overtime. Markham, who missed a 38-yard field goal earlier in the game, had his kick blocked, allowing the Tigers to escape despite gaining a meager 230 total yards.
