Description:

Footage of the November 1966 "Game of the Century" against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan. MSU Head Coach - Duffy Daugherty; Notre Dame Head Coach - Ara Parseghian. The game ended in a 10-10 tie.

Note: The Notre Dame-MSU tie was the first college football game to be broadcast to U.S. troops in Vietnam. At first, ABC wasn't going to show the game at all, but 50,000 fans wrote letters and signed petitions in protest and the network changed its mind. And the reversal paid off: The game got higher ratings than the next year's first-ever Super Bowl did.
