Last Top 20 Night True Road Win?

[wahooBlackshirt]

I was talking to some family members tonight, thinking of when our last Top 20 true road (not neutral site) night game win was. We were torturing ourselves with how we've recently come up short in these games--Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State come to mind.

If you count neutral site games I believe it is 1997 Big XII champ over A&M.

If you count only true road games...anyone know??? Wikipedia doesn't list time of game pre-1989

We won @ #12 Penn St in 2011, #17 Okla St in 2010 (day games though). Going just by night games vs top 20 and not 25 (any times) is being slightly picky since those games don't happen a lot to begin with. We did also beat #24 Mizzou in 09' (night game)

Agree that it's picky--but fun (maybe in a twisted way...) to think about! All of those great years in the 90s, and it didn't happen.

1995 Orange Bowl against da U was a road game in every aspect but in name.

thats because we never played any. This is a tough one. Was arizona st rated top 20 in 1991?

Just looked it up. #24

Does anyone recall if the 1988 oklahoma was at night?

I am sure there was a night in Oklahoma in 1988. Beyond that I have no clue!!!

Thank you Dr. Literal. Lol

Sorry just the village idiot here. I felt I was obligated to say something positive.

That '09 game at Mizzou was awesome. Apparently it was typhoon season in Columbia. Entire stadium lost power just prior to kickoff. Last 5 minutes of game Mizzou fans had left and chants of "Go Big Red" echoed in the stadium.

If this was top 25 we'd have it figured out. I go back to 1988 beating OU in Norman. They were 9. But i doubt it was a night game. Now were into the 80s where night games were sparse if not completely non existent. Im not sure its ever happened at all

And a Mizzou player cried.... that means an angel got it's wings...

In 2009 we had 3 losses by a combined 4 points! So close to a 13 (or 12 since our bowl opponent would have been much tougher) win season...
