Penn State vs. Miami (Fl.) - 1 of 38

Brought to you by http://ChrisGossett.com/ . Penn State and Miami of Florida ("the U") played this historic Fiesta Bowl football game on January 2, 1987 to determine the National Championship of college football for the 1986 season. It was the first time number 1 vs. number 2 were pitted in a "National Championship" game, specifically created for the determination of a National Champion. NBC was instrumental in moving the game to the day after the New Year Bowls. The intrigue began with the already mythical coach, Joe Paterno, and the "good guys" of Penn State. Add a Heisman Trophy winner, in Vinny Testaverde, a wealth of future NFL stars (almost the whole Miami team), Jimmy Johnson and the bravado of the battle fatigue wearing "bad guys" of Miami and you have history.

is this the same version as the DVD version of the fiesta bowl game?

I was wondering before I bought it.

I wonder if someone didn't copy this. See I recorded it from my tape which I've had since that night. Where did you see this DVD? Cuz I'll tell you, one guy just copied all my videos of this game and re-uploaded them here, cut down. What is the link to the DVD? Did you get it from a YouTuber? I don't care - it's fine that he did. I just don't get why someone here would want to watch what LOOKS like a copy of a copy of a copy??? But plz - where did you get the DVD?

I meant NBC Sports, but, you answered my question, yours is the original recording.

But NBC does have a DVD version of the game.
