I was curious if the byu guys would describe their winning pass as......a "HAIL MARY". Sure enough their own SID crew did. NICE!!!

ND owns the rights to "Hail Mary"?

BYU is clearly a religious institution but they do not participate in 'Catholic/Christian' prayers such as the Our Father and Hail Mary. I grew up in Utah and yes received many instant texts after the TD to the affect of "I thought Hail Mary's were a Catholic thing'. Some humor beach.

ND doesn't own the rights but we are credited with starting the expression as it applies to a desperation play in football. The expression goes back to the 1930's when 2 former ND Four Horseman, Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley, used the term to at first describe any desperation play and then later as a long, low probability pass play at the end of a half. Roger Staubach, a Roman Catholic himself, is later credited for making the expression mainstream when he used the term to describe a desperation pass at the end of a playoff game in 1975.

This has been your Cliff Clavin factoid of the day.

Technically, if BYU performed a "Hail Mary", then indeed, they did praise "Notre Dame" since Notre Dame ("Our Lady") is Mary.

OH. I should have thought of that. Very good.
