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.

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.
