#1 Notre Dame vs. #2 Michigan State in one of the most epic battles in college football history. Played on the final weekend of the regular season in November 1966 in East Lansing. Michigan State strikes first late in the 1st quarter with a big pass completion from Jimmy Raye to Gene Washington. The Spartans cash it in for a touchdown early in the 2nd quarter, to go up 7-0. Special thanks to KH for combining the color film with the original national radio broadcast. Jim Morse & Frank Sweeney describe the action.
alabama was the rightful national champions that year since they had the better record and perfect season.

@Big67DS Alabama did deserve the title, but politics entered into the matter.

@mcoltrane5 Unfortunately 11-0 Alabama deserved the 1966 National title. Notre Dame after they tied the game 10-10 were perfectly happy to settle for a tie.
