Coaches: Carroll Cox, Jess Lanier and Larry Henderson, Murphy
Game: Saturday December 15, 1990 Legion Field, Birmingham
 
Summary:
             A relentless Jess Lanier ground attack and a great defensive performance would prove to be more than the Panthers could handle in Birmingham. The Purple and white controlled the ball for almost twice as long as Murphy in the game. The Lanier defense held the Panthers to -6 yards rushing and 87 total yards and produced five turnovers.
