Joe Montana’s legend is born as he leads Notre Dame to an incredible comeback in below zero wind chill conditions in what many consider the greatest Cotton Bowl, and one of the best college football games, ever played.
Montana fights hypothermia at halftime and, after sitting out the first two offensive series of the second half, enters the game with 4:40 remaining in the third quarter. Houston holds a commanding 34-12 lead with 7:37 remaining in the fourth quarter and feel so assured of a victory, they substitute their backups into the game. Then the impossible happens.
This is a professional version of the original broadcast, commercial free. Running time is 2 hours 42 minutes. You’ll see these legendary players: Joe Montana, Bob Golic, Vagas Ferguson and watch coaches Bill Yeoman and Dan Devine battle it out.
