Colorado, a team of comebacks and destiny, overcomes the loss of top quarterback Darian Hagan to earn its first national football championship with a win over Notre Dame in the 57th annual 1991 FedEx Orange Bowl®.
Backup quarterback and Colorado’s game MVP, Charles Johnson, comes off the bench in the second half to spark CU to a hard-fought victory against a star-studded Notre Dame team. Who can forget the heart-stopping 91-yard punt return by Raghib “Rocket” Ismail, who with 43 seconds remaining appears to dash Colorado’s championship hopes, only to see the runback nullified by a clipping penalty!
This is a professional version of the original broadcast, commercial free. Running time is 2 hours 8 minutes. You’ll see these legendary players: Jerome Bettis, Ricky Watters, Raghib “Rocket” Ismail, Rick Mirer, Chris Zorich and watch coaches Bill McCartney and Lou Holtz battle it out.
