I remember watching this game as a kid. Joe Montana was incredible.

Has any other QB won an NCAA DIV.1 title and a Super Bowl? Enough said. Ali, Jordan, Ryan, Sayers and Montana: GOATS.

I don’t have to tell anyone who my all time favorite quarterback is. 🐐

The fact that Campbell’s didn’t sponsor this game is one of the biggest blunders is marketing history.

I wish they had a better angle of the final TD catch..

The official with the best view signaled touchdown pretty fast.
