It's like with Nebraska's. The stripes on the pants make the uni a lot better.

he was just as conserve at Arkansas

That Michigan DB was Charles Woodson, a HOF and one of the most accomplished defensive players in college/pro football history. I get your sentiment though.

"Northern politics"? "Yankee politics'? lol, ok dude - whatever you say

Sour grapes and blaming Yankee politics. It was a helluva comeback by the Vols. I was there that day. You ruined the video experience by dragging Yankee politics into this. Even when your team wins a huge game like that, you still lose. Paul Hornung proved how great he was in the NFL regardless of winning the HEISMAN trophy on a 2-8 team. He’s a HOF in College Football and NFL! Johnny Majors never played in the NFL, just one year in the CFL in 1957. So, take a chill pill and relax.

I agree that the politics were once a big issue but I don't think so ..as much.. anymore. Once upon a time if ND was within 5 spots of number one they were gonna be crowned national champs or like this game, UT would have never been allowed to come back in 1972 like they did here. That block in the back that was called on Ismails punt return in the Orange Bowl wouldn't have been called in 1970. ND won the national title in 66 and 77 when they had no business doing so. The worst part was in 1977, a guy told me, he worked for the AP, they would give the title to ND if they beat Texas before the game. Ara even admitted he had been told in 1966 ND would be given the title with just a tie with Mich St. Beano Cook once said on ESPN that every year the ND Quarterback will always be a leading candidate for the heisman. That's how rampant the biased politics were back then. Thank goodness we don't live in those days anymore. I also agree with your Peyton Manning point. Danny Wuerffel had just won the heisman and there was no way an SEC player was gonna win it again the next year. Again, the rampant bias that existed has almost gone away and the best team and best player wins, as they should.

@@LeahysLads Your point about Hornung proves this guys point. NO WAY a player off a 2-8 team wins the heisman today. For a long time, not so much today but for a long time Northern politics was very much involved in intercollegiate sports. Once the biased politcs got out ND has been pretty much an afterthought.

I was at both the Tennessee and Penn State game that season. Two of the longest drives back home to Chicago from South Bend ever. But I did attend the Sugar Bowl that season. That was a fantastic experience! Win, lose or draw, I still love Notre Dame! Go Irish ☘️ This year is going to be special. The best one in years.

I always found him irritating. After USC beat the heck out of Oklahoma, he made this statement about how no team that runs the ball most of the time on 1st down will win a national title again. This in spite of the fact that USC, especially in 2005, constantly leaned on the run.

@@aaronrider4051 What do you expect from a Man who came out of the West Coast Offense?

incredibly brutal way to lose

fine with me to watch ND lose!

Yea more like game and comeback of the year in college football that year.
