Is this play the loudest noise in Rutgers Stadium/HPSS history?

Not a home game, but the 1955 game at Brown was the loudest I've heard because of other reasons. Played in a tropical storm on a field where water polo would have been better suited or even crew. We won 14-12 due to 2 extra points made by running. Couldn't kick without a shop vac. Anyhow, the rain was deafening and you couldn't hear any of the 8 RU fans. Wrecked a brand new London Fog at that game. Somehow managed to make it home despite the flooding. Never went back to Brown again.
I'd have to say
1. UL 2006 - The electricity in the air was palpable and the building shook.
2. PSU 2014 - I never felt a collective hatred in Rutgers stadium toward an opponent the entire game as I did that night. Louisville'06 may have been the loudest that stadium has ever rocked but never was a game played in our building with more intensity from start to finish than that PSU game in 2014. Remember, Louisville was beating us 25-7 at one point and the place really got quiet there for a moment in the first half.
3. Michigan 2014
4. USF 2007 - Not quite UL 2006 but same feel. Thursday night game, the then #2 ranked team in the country (they had won @ Auburn, beaten North Carolina and West Virginia prior to our meeting). Never forget Schiano running all the way down the sideline on that forward lateral that was eventually penalized. Oh and USF was one of the dumbest, most undisciplined teams I've ever seen that night.
5. I'm going to go with a bit of a dark horse here...Navy 2005 when we clinched our first non-losing season in 11 years. The "R-U chant" in the 4th quarter was one of the crispest and longest ones I can remember. I had it recorded on an old flip phone but never saved it anywhere.
6. Arkansas 2013 was a fantastic game and very loud when Grant returned the punt for a TD.
