1966 Oklahoma v Notre Dame

[@8avexp]

I remember that season very well. It was our last autumn in South Bend before we moved to New Jersey the following spring, and I had just started following ND. Nick Eddy was my favorite player; I'm still waiting for the Hammes Bookstore to offer his #47 jersey.

Tony Capers for ND kicked-off. The ball went through the up-rights off the kicking tee(60yds) Capers, as I recall, played a solid defensive game from the linebacker position and that is the last that I ever heard of him?

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

He had a short career with the Denver Broncos before retiring due to injuries. He went into radio after that and had a long successful career as a broadcaster. Sadly he passed away from a heart attack at only the age of 50.

@@Mr.56Goldtop Thank you!!! I was 12 yo, grew up in South Bend. At 65 my memory still amazes my friends. Tony Capers fell off the face of Notre Dame football in one game '68 NDvsOklahoma and it has haunted me for 50+ years. I almost gave up and thought I lost my mind... WOW! Thanks, again!

@@jinglejuggs69 No problem pardner! We are the same age, and I grew up a ND fan as well. Terry Hannraty is the first QB that I can remember, so from around the time of this game.

Tony capers wasn’t even on that team

[@edmahl3365]

The announcer is Jim (something) and the color guy is Frank (something). Does anyone know anything else? BTW, Nick Eddy was drafted by the Detroit Lions, but never played due to injury.
