I wish we had announcers for today’s college football like they did in 1975. None of this analyzing crap. These announcers back in 75 were telling the story, page by page and it was exciting. Just because one played football or what was a coach doesn’t mean you’re any good at announcing. Today’s announcers are self-absorbed Monday quarterbacks.

There was an awful call on FG try by ND when it was 7-0. Center moved the ball but we got called for offsides on 4th and 4. You can see Bama interior lineman move then end Mike Washington jump, but should have been procedure on Irish. ND then went on to score to make it 13-0. We also had two critical fumbles on punt and down when we were near scoring at start of 4th qtr. Would have been justice had we won a title that night after losing the year before. Always hated we lost this game. Thought we were likely better but too many mistakes.

Watching Todd was like waiting for the roof to cave in after 5 feet of snow. He was a turnover machine. Poor Bear...he just couldn't beat Texas or ND.

Good game and all, but the Oklahoma Sooners were the 1974 National Champions. BOOMER!!!

The 1973 Alabama Notre Dame game was the best game ever played. Notre Dame , at the time had unparalleled success , it represents the end of an era . An Era that fortunately has ended. But nonetheless Notre Dame had a powerhouse in this era . Some exciting football certainly

Alabama had twice the team. Notre Dame knew how to stop the wishbone.

Normally back then, this bowl game would be hosted by the Big 8 Champion, considering that Oklahoma won the Big 8 Championship in 1974, plus the fact that they were on probation for bowl games that year, perhaps that was why they matched up an Southeast Conference team in Alabama against an Independent in Notre Dame that year.
