  • Anybody see Barry Alvarez there?

  • Is that him on the left side of the screen at 4:19 ? Looks like him.

  • this kick is just as dramatic as the one Houghtlin kicked to beat Michigan the year before, but i think it gets forgotten by iowa fans.

  • Hawkeyes are the bestest

  • Wow! I remember watching this game with my late grandfather when I was a kid. He jumped out of his recliner and right over his footstool when the ball went thru the goalpoasts. A memory I will take to the grave. Great seeing it again!

  • Young Kirk Ferentz at 1:58?

  • Yup, that's Barry. LOL, Wisconsin owes its entire football program to the Hawkeyes!

  • Seriously, my favorite moment is after SD State called time out to ice the kicker and Houghtlin walked over to Fry. I don't know what he said but he reached down, grabbed himself and seemed to say "they can eat this". Greatest moment in Hawkeye football history!

  • I was also on the field that day, as a Marching Aztec. Ouch. Has San Diego State had any more important games since this one?

  • Ugh. Kill me please. I'm one of the Marching Aztecs' member on the goalline @ 6:06. All the Aztecs had to do was cover the damn kickoff. More than 20 years later, I've known nothing but agony. >:(

  • Jay Randolph is the PBP man for this game. He did NBC's NFL Regional Games in the 1970's and early 80's.

  • WHAT A KICK. And should've been blocked. I had totally forgotten what a terrible snap that was.
