    The Game of the Century: Notre Dame vs. Michigan State, 1966 That gets Game of the Century, Notre Dame, Michigan State, and 1966 directly into the title.

    On November 19, 1966, two undefeated giants met in East Lansing. No. 1 Notre Dame. No. 2 Michigan State. The Spartans had Bubba Smith and one of the most talented teams in college football. Notre Dame arrived with Ara Parseghian and a national championship within reach. What followed became one of the most famous—and controversial—games in the history of the sport. A brutal defensive battle. Injuries to key players. A 10–10 score. And a final decision by Notre Dame that college football fans are still debating six decades later. In this episode of Fourth & History, we go back to 1966 to revisit the buildup, the players, the controversy, and the legacy of the game forever remembered as The Game of the Century. College football has a story. We tell it.
