Fantastic article, thanks. I was not born yet but I have read many articles on the game. This is one of the best.

Incredible excitement from the Kickoff to the final play. A constant knot in my tummy! On edge every play.
That game had incredible talent on both sides!

I think this photo, which I dragged off the home page, is of the play where Bubba Smith separated Hanratty's shoulder.

You are correct. George Webster (90 in right corner of photo) ties up Hanratty on a QB draw and Bubba was comng like a freight train. Pat Gallinagh (academic All-American) is No. 55.

Yes, I read that piece. And I remember that game, although I was only in third grade.

I still believe if Nick Eddy hadn't hurt himself just before the game, and Hanratty hadn't been hurt during the game, ND would have won. Of course, missing a mid-range field goal didn't help either.
