Notre Dame Football: National and Super Bowl Champs

As we sit just days away from the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers strapping up to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, we’ll be having some sporatic fun here at Fighting Irish Wire in terms of former Notre Dame players and coaches who have had an impact on “The Big Game”.

Terry Hanratty helped guide Notre Dame to a national championship on that same 1966 team as Jim Lynch, as well as the next player we’ll list who played running back on that squad.

Hanratty played for the Steelers from 1969-1975, backing up Terry Bradshaw during much of their dynastic run.

Hanratty was there for the Steelers first two Super Bowl titles in ’74 and ’75 and completed 165 of 431 pass attempts in his Steelers career.  He added 24 touchdown passes in that time.
