The 1973 Sugar Bowl, it's Notre Dame versus Alabama, New Year's Eve, December 31, 1973.

The game starts with the Crimson Tide kicking off deep in the end zone, and the ball is down by Notre Dame's Gary Domenick.

So the Fighting Irish start off first down in 10 on their own 20-yard line, and here's the original radio broadcast on the Mutual System with Van Patrick. And they'll have the ball on their own 20-yard line. Redmond will be at center. Pomerico and DeNardo at the guards. DeC and Sylvester to tackle. Zimmerley and Casper the end. Dobby Clements is the quarterback. Tinnock, Best, and Bullock are the running backs. And Crawls, Reins, Kubolas, and Dubos are up front for Alabama with Strickland, Montgomery, and Low. Backing up that line. Out of the huddle comes Notre Dame in a double-wing formation. Clemits asking for quiet so they can hear the signal. and here's a give now to Bullock, and Bullock is at the 27-yard line.

On a straight-ahead play, a draw play right up the middle.

And Davis and Lowe are the two Alabama players who brought him down.

And Davis and Lowe has made 134 tackles this year, so he's been a busy boy defensively. That ball is just over the 26-yard line at second down. And about three and a half yards to go. Demerley is flanked out wide to left side. They're in a pro set now, and in motion goes Pinnock, and to give his step, Bullock. And Bullock is straight ahead at the 30 to 35 to 40

Clements on the keeper on the sweep, and he brought down one on the 43-yard line.
