Way back in 1966, the Irish had an opportunity to defeat Michigan State after trailing early, 10-0. With time left on the clock, the Ara Parseghian-led Notre Dame squad had an opportunity to go for the win. Instead Parseghian played it safe and ran the clock out, resulting in a 10-10 against MSU.
In what was dubbed “The Game of the Century,” the final result wasn’t quite what one would expect. Yes, the Irish went on to win the national championship, but it was an odd decision for Parseghain to run the clock out when the Irish clearly had an opportunity to win the game outright.
