Keith JacksonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Notre Dame's statistics on the year at 2-2.
Keith JacksonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you see there in total yards, I don't ever remember since Ara Parseghian rebuilt the football program here at Notre Dame that the opposition has been that close to him statistically.
Frank BroylesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is a real change.
Keith JacksonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Third down and a little more than eight yards as Montana rolls.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So we're happy to have you along for this very, very important game this afternoon between Notre Dame, the fifth-ranked team in the nation, and Southern California, at the moment ranked number one.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Notre Dame, gold pants, blue shirts, white numerals, and gold helmets is huddled below us here around Notre Dame head football coach Ara Parseghian.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And on the other side of the field, Southern California now goes into a huddle around their head football coach, Johnny McKay, who has done a fantastic job at USC in his eight years of coaching there.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, we told you a moment ago that Southern Cal was going to defend the goal to our left.
1 HR 36 MINS LATER
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This team did not.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is not a criticism of the ball club, it's just the way the ball game has gone.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But if Simpson were to get loose for, uh, I, uh, for, uh, Southern Cal, it could cause quite a bit of consternation with Ara Parseghian and his, his assistant coaches down here on the sideline.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Southern Cal slowly making its way back onto the field at the north end.
Clayton BengfordGUEST
He, uh, he had a couple- ... appearances in, at state, uh, on the 440 and 880 relay teams.
Clayton BengfordGUEST
Um, and yeah, like you said, afterwards he went on to the University of Notre Dame, um, played for Ara Parseghian out there.
Clayton BengfordGUEST
Uh, he earned two football letters, and then one of the things that we loved about him was afterwards, um, he served as a special agent with the FBI, and he did so in a phenomenal way here, and a Congressional Record at the end of his career.
Clayton BengfordGUEST
Um, and, and that's, that's one of the things that I'd, you know, mentioned earlier.
Jay RandolphHOST
Alabama's Crimson Tide under Coach Bear Bryant, sixty-one years old, a native of Fort Ice, Arkansas.
Jay RandolphHOST
And the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame being coached for the last time by fifty-one-year-old Ara Parseghian, a native of Akron, Ohio.
Jay RandolphHOST
Bucky Berry will be the man who will kick the football off to put it in play.
Jay RandolphHOST
We can expect Clements at quarterback for Notre Dame.
14 MINS LATER
Jay RandolphHOST
And Notre Dame is gonna go, no question about it, here in the early going.
Jay RandolphHOST
Coming to the seven-minute mark to play in this first period, and now Notre Dame wants time out.
Jay RandolphHOST
Tom Clements, the senior quarterback from McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, trotting to the near side to talk with his coach Ara Parseghian.
Jay RandolphHOST
And we've got a time out with 7:05 left, first period.
Van PatrickHOST
That'll be first down and 10 to go.
Van PatrickHOST
They're gonna mark it on the 25 yard line, so make it first and 10 for Michigan State, coached by Duffy Daugherty, who holds the better record against Ara Parseghian than any coach in the country.
Van PatrickHOST
10 wins over Ara's teams, going back to when he was at Northwestern and here at Notre Dame.
Van PatrickHOST
Since they've been at Notre Dame, it's been two, two, and one.
Van PatrickHOST
He's run down to the 35 yard line with it before he's finally brought down in the secondary by Clifton Hardy Also Don Law again.
Van PatrickHOST
It'll be a first down for Notre Dame.
Van PatrickHOST
But there's no question that Ara Parseghian wants to throw that ball today, Al.
Al WesterHOST
Well, he's got it in the air, two passes in a row, and Tom Gatewood's been on the receiving end.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So we're happy to have you along for this very, very important game this afternoon between Notre Dame, the fifth-ranked team in the nation, and Southern California, at the moment ranked number one.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Notre Dame, gold pants, blue shirts, white numerals, and gold helmets is huddled below us here around Notre Dame head football coach Ara Parseghian.

Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This team did not.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is not a criticism of the ball club, it's just the way the ball game has gone.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But if Simpson were to get loose for, uh, I- for, uh, Southern Cal, it could cause quite a bit of consternation with Ara Parseghian and his, his assistant coaches down here on the sideline.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Southern Cal slowly making its way back onto the field at the north end.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He did, but not enough to clear the p- entire path to the goal Taylor made the stop for Navy.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Actually, Pergene is a quarterback, so he was a half fie- uh, a ha- half, or I should say, in the backfield prior to being switched to linebacker by Coach Ara Parseghian.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Parseghian makes the statement that Pergene out-muscled his way, or out-muscled his way out of the backfield into the linebacker position.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So it's Notre Dame's football, with first and 10 at the 15 yard line of Navy.
25 MINS LATER
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
However, across the way, the Irish fans have formed a funnel for the Notre Dame club to return to the, uh, gridiron, and the Navy band moves off the field now as we await the appearance of the Midshipmen and the Fighting Irish.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You can be sure that there were some very fine, uh, words addressed to both of these ball clubs during the halftime period.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And, uh, with two fine coaches such as Bill Elias and Ara Parseghian, watch for the fur to fly in this second half.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Notre Dame leading 10 to nothing, but it is by no means a runaway.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Notre Dame's football with fourth down, seven yards to go at the Michigan State 33 yard line.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Terry Hanratty goes to the sideline now to talk to Coach Ara Parseghian.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Kevin Hardy is in the ball game apparently to kick for Notre Dame.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Going back deep, number 39 is Drake Garrett for Michigan State.
1 HR 13 MINS LATER
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But they're only behind three points.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This ball game is one where you can't figure that you're gonna get another score.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
15 minutes of playing time remaining, and, uh, Ara Parseghian, in our hearts the number one coach in the nation, has elected that the field goal is the thing to go for.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
At least that's, uh, what he's setting up here.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That means for this first quarter of the game, they will be going into that wind out of the north.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Ara Parseghian, head coach at Notre Dame, has not lost to Oklahoma.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is his first meeting against them, however.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He did not lose when he was coach of Northwestern, winning twice over the Sooners.
27 MINS LATER
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's gonna run it now.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He puts his head down, and gets to the 40-yard line, but he is stopped short of the first down by Larry Crutcher.
Frank SweeneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And across the way, Ara Parseghian, after that rough tackle that Fa- Hanratty took just as the quarter ended, held his head as Hanratty's got gang tackled by three of 'em there at the 40-yard line.
Jim MorseSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Into the ball game comes Smithburger now.
Van PatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A great defensive play.
Van PatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let's see now what Ara Parseghian's gonna do.
Van PatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's got fourth down.
Van PatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's got a foot and a half of, uh, yardage to go.
23 MINS LATER
Al WesterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And number 73 for LSU, John Sage, the great defensive tackle.
Al WesterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
LSU are meeting, uh, at, uh, midfield, shaking hands again, and the indication, of course, being pointed out that was decided on the flip of the coin, with LSU receiving the first half, that LSU will kick the second half.
Al WesterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Fighting Irish around their coach, Ara Parseghian, and the coaching staff.
Al WesterSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And now they break and come onto the field.
