in for..The '52, 53 games vs OKlahoma were absolute nail biters , the Frank Leahy led Irish prevailing first in South Bend, 27-21, then opening the following yr in OKlahoma, prevailing 28-21, then, 1953, ND started the season ranked no.1, Sooners were 6th..A late season tie cost the Irish the nat'l title, but they were far and away the best team in country...THis was followed by the all time classic '57, 7-0 win over the Sooners breaking their 47 game win streak..
Last week, I posted how I loved the '73 backfield , led by Clements, Bullock...THis '50s era had an all time great backfield too, Ralph Guglielmi at QB, Johnny Lattner, Joe Heap the HBS, and Neil Worden at FB...
Ive been hooked ever since..
Yes, it'll be a long day on pins and needles, still after all these years and I loathe nite games..The gameday nervous stomach never goes away..
