The supposed 12th man, was Emory Hicks, an acquaintance of mine.
I remember that, double OT, right?
“Thats not what Ara said.”
He said if anyone played for a tie it was MSU, which had the ball in ND territory with about a minute or so left in the game, but on 4th down MSU punted.
Almost as good as watching them get beaten in the playoff. :)
1992 Sugar Bowl: One sportswriter in the entire country had Bama to win over the might Hurricanes of Miami. The bad boys had the swagger and the Heisman winner in Gino Torretta. Bama’s defense was nearly unbeatable, with George Teague actually running down a receiver who was supposedly faster than him an stripping the ball away. Greatest play in the greatest game. (even though a defensive penalty (offsides) nullified it) 34-13.
Boys love the mud, I pity the mothers who had to clean their sons muddy uniforms.
I still say 71 Neb-OU >>>> 66 ND-MichSt (and I am not a fan of any of the 4 teams), but I am with you on the 73 Sugar Bowl. It had everything you could want, and it rarely gets mentioned.
That's the one I remember. 1984. Was watching the game at a fellow Marine's house on Thanksgiving weekend. Stationed on Camp Pendleton at the time.
I thought he was going to be an NFL superstar but they never really gave him a chance. Raw deal. He did set records up in Canada however.
