Need some help from you more media savvy fans.....
Check out the 1973 Eric Penick 85 yard TD vs Trojans on YouTube. My friend and I were sophomores in high school. We sold game programs ($1 apiece) at ND games. We would take a 100 program allotment, sell 90 and turn our $$ in (you had to do that INSIDE the stadium). We would not leave the stadium, and would sell the remaining 10 programs inside he stadium and pocket our $10 portion. We did that for every game.
So, for this particular game, we had gotten ourselves down on the field in the north endzone field benches. When Penick busted loose, he headed right for us. In the video, you can see the first people to greet Penick in the endzone were me and my cohort. Then, Penick was engulfed by a mob.
The rest of the story?......my friend had the ball! He had snatched it from Penick in the mayhem. Still has it today.
We also ended up on the cover of the SB Trib the next morning.
That run ran as a trailer for years on ESPN....
Maybe someone can post it?
