UC DAVIS 1971 Miracle Football Game @ Cal State Hayward, Jim Swan Announcer Voiceover

An authentic recreation of the missing audio track using documented play by play data, and reels from the silent films archives of UC Davis. Enoch Media Studios (Grant Johnson) teamed with Swan Media Services (Jim Swan) under contract with UC Davis to create an exciting play by play action of the famous 1971 UC Davis "Miracle Game" played at Cal State Hayward, where the UC Davis AGGIES scored 16 points in the last 20 seconds of the game. The Cal State Hayward cheerleaders were already in the locker room popping the champagne corks when these last 16 points were scored in a wild back to back to back action where Davis just took over the game dominating every play, and devastating the Hayward Pioneers. It was the beginning of the literal end of the Hayward team (which does not now exist). To this day, the Hayward Coach Rodrigo (long since moved away) won't talk about it, and chided us for ruining his day when asked about it last month LOL.
This video was assembled from silent BW 16 mm 40 yr old footage, and the action-packed new soundtrack was recorded and produced entirely within the Enoch Media studio with voiceover talent Jim Swan of Swan Media Services. Grant Johnson of Enoch Media did the creative in post assembly and green screen work, etc.
This video was played for the 40th anniversary of the game recently at the UC Davis Sochor Field Stadium during the halftime show on Nov 5, 2011. The crowd at the stadium went wild at the touchdown catches and action plays.
Coached by Jim Sochor, with Bob Biggs as QB, Mike Bellotti as TE catching TD pass, and Mike Everly catching the final winning catch, and great plays by so many other key players in the last 20 seconds, this game went on to define UC Davis Football for the next 18 years, as Coach Sochor took this team to win 18 straight championships IN A ROW, more than any other college football team, ever... a record.

Jim Swan did a fantastic job of calling these plays. He did this out of the top of his head, kept it very interesting and exciting, and needed very few re-takes. What made this special is that Jim had his heart into this game, and truly relived it.

I heard about this game years ago. Now I just got to see it through the wonder of technology. Both these teams were in the same conference as Chico State. That same season CSUC won at Davis 38-20, their last win in 20 years against the Aggies. The man scoring twice above for Davis, Mike Bellotti, later coached at Chico and had a successful tenure at Oregon. Phil Swimley, who came on the field, had a long run as UCDS baseball coach. The QB, I believe, was future Davis gridiron coach Bob Biggs.
