I knew what game this was, but it was still hard to watch, still hard to believe. Watching BYU get run all over, watching McMahon and the passing game get shut down and swallowed up, I started thinking I was watching the wrong BYU vs. SMU Holiday Bowl. Knowing the miracle was coming, I still could not believe it, especially after SMU"s last touchdown. What a finish. Unbelievable.
I was 10 years old when I watched this live and remembered my neighbors big brother Scott Phillips being on the team. I didn't remember him being such a huge part of the offense. Greatest come back ever.
Thanks for the upload.believe the holiday bowl kicked of the bowl season back then.Think it was played the night before Xmas eve that's when school vacation started.
In all of college football history! It was 50 years before the comeback point deficit was exceeded, but no one has come close to the amount of time that deficit was overcome. Three minutes. Just incredible.
