Notre Dame Remains Undone by Michigan State Grudge Game
In the 1966 grudge clash Notre Dame and No 2 Michigan State provided a season defining battle marked by hype and taunts. Notre Dame’s Coley O’Brien struggled as the Irish defense stifled State’s option attack and a late field goal attempt fell short.
Notre Dame’s late tie bid still sparks debate after 13 years
O’Brien recalls a game where Six plays and no passes left Notre Dame with a chance to win on the field. He says missing the field goal and tying on the opponent’s field is unfair to claim the Irish played for the tie. Schoen adds that with the full team they would have won easily.
