1976 Pitt at Notre Dame

This is the 9/11/1976 Pitt at Notre Dame game. Pitt had made some waves in 1974 and 1975 under Johnny Majors. Clearly they had the nations best at the tailback position in Tony Dorsett, and Majors had added some very talented players at other positions to back him up. Notre Dame was seeking revenge for a 1975 drubbing in Pittsburgh when Dorsett ran wild on their defense. It would not happen. Dorsett rolled again and a tough Panther defense was too much for The Irish. Pitt was ranked #9 at the time but with a slew of surprising results on this weekend of college football The Panthers rose to #3 after this win and rolled on to the national championship. It was their last national title. This first part of this game is original broadcast. The end of the first half and all of the second half is game film with radio. I claim no rights but I did author the film/radio combination.
