But this game will be far different than most of the meetings between the two schools. This contest will be between two tearhs that are fighting for its lives, which is unusual for both MSU and Notre Dame this early in the season. Both schools are 1-2 this season and the team that winds up on the short end of the score could find itself in a hole with no way to get out.

The Longhorns rolled through ASSICS the SWC race with ease to win their first championship in four seasons. When it GAME SUMMARY came time to tender bowl invitations, fifth-ranked Notre Dame, without hesitation, turned down all others to come to Dallas with the avowed intention of beating the Longhorns and propelling themselves to yet another national championship. This classic was a headline attraction. It featured college football’s Heisman Tro- phy winner — Earl Campbell, the Outland Trophy winner — Brad Shearer, both of Texas; the Lombardi and Maxwell Award winner — Ross Browner, and the Walter Camp Award winner — Ken MacAfee, both of Notre Dame. As a junior, Browner was awarded the Outland as the season's outstanding interior lineman. Six major indi- vidual awards, along with the country’s top ranked team and No. 5 Notre Dame, all rolled into one New Year’s Day Classic. On paper, Texas had the edge in every department, a team with more ways than one to deliver a knockout punch. Campbell was a franchise running back. Of his 1,744 yards gained that season, more than a thousand of them came after he had been hit at least once. Durable and hard to bring down was his trademark.

  • Interim Coaches : « the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly »
    THE COFFIN CORNER : Vol. 26, No. 6 (2004) INTERIM COACHES : The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly By Mark Speck While coaching styles and philosophies have changed over the years, one thing about head coaches has remained a constant.. You’re hired to be fired. Every coach knows this to be true Every coach has been fired at one time or another. After a couple losing seasons, or a few playoff failures. Sometimes after a winning season that doesn’t meet the owners expectations. And sometimes, a coach may be fired during the season, after a couple bad games.That’s where the interim coach comes in. The interim coach is a top assistant, a front office person, or even an unemployed head coach who has the unenviable task of taking over a team in mid-season. His job: to somehow rally the troops, right a sinking ship, turn around a losing season, and if he’s lucky get retained as the head coach for next season. Interim head coaches have met with varying degrees of success in the long history of pro football. Some men have handled it well, and some, not so well. There have been good ones, bad ones and some downright ugly ones. There have been some who at first glance looked bad, but turned out to be a good choice. Two cases in point would be Sid Gillman and Marv Levy. Gillman replaced Bill Peterson as head coach of the Oilers in 1973. Houston had lost all five of their games, and under the aged General Manager and former coach, the Oilers didn’t improve much, finishing the season 1-13.
