NBC Sports: FBS 1974- Orange Bowl- Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Alabama Crimson Tide: Highlights


Source:Steel Buck- Notre Dame Fighting Irish QB Tom Clements.

"1975 Orange Bowl #2 Alabama Crimson Tide vs #9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish" 

From Steel Buck

Just to give you a little background about the two teams involved here and their players and to give you an idea about the quality of talent that they had: 

Irish QB Joe Theisman was already in the NFL at this point in his first season with the Redskins and his last year at Notre Dame was in 1970. Irish QB Joe Montana was a freshman at this point. But they had QB Tom Clements who was a veteran QB in the Canadian Football League and had a good career there with teams like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They also had defensive tackle Mike Fanning, who had a good career with the Los Angeles Rams. 

The Crimson Tide had TE Ozzie Newsome, who became of the best receiving TE's in the NFL history with the Cleveland Browns. And I'm just naming a few great players who would go on to have good pro football careers, who played in this game.
