The coach of the Boilers (In his first year replacing Alex Agase, the last player ever to be named consensus First-Team All-America for two different schools [Purdue and Illinois]) was Jim Young, who is one of only six coaches in I-A/FBS History to coach at least five years and never lose less than five games. The others are Tom Osborne, LaVell Edwards, Vince Dooley, Bo Schembechler and Pat Dye.
It said in his previous 2 comebacks along with this one. The time of possession was 15 1/2 min. In the Colts/Dolphins Monday night game a few weeks ago, Peyton Manning threw for 303 yds in under 15 minutes, so it can be done.
Taylor was Montana`s specialist receiver on clutch performance. Yes Jerry Rice became a great player becuase of the good throwing passer like MONTANA. So, Taylior had more winning receptions than RICE on cruzial moments, it`s on the books!!!!
They're talking about Montana's play in his last 3 appearances as a relief QB : '75 vs. North Carolina, '75 vs. Air Force, and this '77 game vs. Purdue. The stats are correct. You can see highlights of all 3 games in my collection of clips here on You Tube.
Indeed. It's an unfortuante myth that still persists. For some reason many football forget that Montana won two Super Bowls without Jerry Rice, John, Taylor, or Brent Jones. Dwight Clark was a very good reciever but hardly anywhere near the same class of Jerry Rice.
In my opinion Joe Montana was the greatest quarterback of all time. I still recall his retirement speech and to this day I badly miss watching him work his football magic.
Does anybody have any footage of Missouri vs Notre Dame from 1978. I believe Mizzou won that game 3-0

Uh, make that 417 yards.

WTH?!, at 1:53 it says Montana threw for 413 yards in only 15 and a half minutes, how do you throw for 413 yards in only ONE quarter?
Throwing for 400 yards in an entire game is considered a feat.

A Purdue linebacker named Fred Arrington put a monster hit on the ND quarterback that allowed Montana to play. Changed the course of history.

52 points in 15 minutes? that can't be right.

I thought it meant 52 in that one game...but they meant 52 points overall, as you said, and then in this specific game, he only played 15 minutes...
WillBraden 5 years ago
No, the sum total of the scoring drives in the 3 games was 52 points in 15 1/2 minutes.
tjnd88 5 years ago
HA HA HA. So much for the theory that Montana *only* succeeded because of Bill Walsh and Jerry Rice.
