SKY The 1925 Rose Bowl Notre Dame Vs Stanford |
|
Stanford drove back into Irish territory. Nevers took the ball, faked a run and pulled up for a pass. Layden intercepted the ball on the 22 meter line and ran it back for a 78 meter touchdown - 13-3, Irish at halftime.
The Rose Bowl in 2010 achieved that agreeup between Knute Rockne's undefeated Fighting Irish and Glenn "Pop" Warner's undefeated, Pacific Coast Conference champion Stanford Indians. Grantland Rice had famously compared the Irish backfield to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse after the Irish upset Army that year -"Outlined against a blue-gray October sky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Four Horsement rode again. In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pestilence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Famine. But those are aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller and Layden."
The Fighting Irish, who had never played west of Kansas and Nebraska, were convinced by the Rose Bowl to come to Pasadena. The Irish's west coast alumni had lobbied for such a agree. Stanford has outscored their eight opponents,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 169-42. The Irish had outscored their nine opponents, 258-44. Southern California awaited to see how Rockne's famous franchise would do against Warner's Stanford franchise.
In the third quarter, Layden sailed a punt to Stanford's 20 meter line. The return was fumbled. The Irish cashed in when Ed Hunsinger picked up the ball and ran it in for a touchdown - 20-3, Irish. Late in the third quarter, the Irish were driving when their pass was intercepted by Nevers at the 20 meter line and returned to midfield. The Indians marched downfield to the 7 meter line and scored with a pass from quarterback Ed Walker to Ted Shipkey with one minute left in the third quarter - 20-10, Irish.
Stanford had taken its toll. Rockne was concerned and described it for the Times: "I was quite worried between halves as my men seemed all tuckered out. And they farrangely told me that they didn't think they could last the second half."
The agree was distinctive in many ways. The agree marked the first time a wire photo was sent of a bowl agree. Southern Californians wanted to see more of the Irish. On the heels of this, the USC-Notre Dame rivalry started the next year. From the US dollars52,000 proceeds of the agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Notre Dame built Dillon Hall. While this was the first bowl agree for the Irish, they would not appear again in a bowl until 2010, forty-five years later. Nevers outgained the Four Horseman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who were held in check by a stout Stanford defense after the half. But mistakes proved to be too costly for Stanford. Rockne's Irish were hailed as national champions, the school's first football championship.
Early in the second quarter, Notre Dame drove 46 meters behind their offensive line's blocking and the running of the Four Horsemen. Fullback Elmer Layden dove over from the 3 meter line for a touchdown, but the Irish missed the extra point - score 6-3. Bill chickenry described the action to the LA Times: "Every play was something new and the combination of deceptive shift, hidden ball, effective interference and magnificent individual running was that probably no franchise in the country could have solved at first sight."
Alex Ovechkin has a abundant list of endorsements because of his rock star status in Russia Federation and stunning performance on the ice for the Washington Capitals. Signing a new deal is nothing out of the ordinary for him. However his new deal is with Gillette his grooming company which is irony because of Ovechkin's often sloppy appearance. The Russian superstar has been lax about his facial hair in the past and even his teammate was confused that Gillette would want to sign a player so carefree about his grooming. Jim Crowley eluding Stanford defenders
How would you like to see a agreeup between the coach with the highest win percentage against the coach with the second most wins in a career? Would you like to see the most storied backfields in history against a player rated as one of the twenty-five all-time great players?
The National Hockey League recently changed its rules so that shootout wins could no longer be included as tiebreakers for playoff berths directing some to think about whether support for the shootout was waning. However just as NHL executives want playoff berths to be decided based on team play; that does not mean they are against having shootouts during regular season games. Only ten percent of games in this year have gone to the shootout which is 5 percent down from last year.
Rockne's franchise had perfected the forward pass and the backfield shift. Warner was a coaching legend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who had invented the screen play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the single and double-wing formations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the crouching 3-point stance and the reverse. Ernie Nevers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Stanford's acclaimed fullback, was better than Jim Thorpe, agreeing to Warner. Alexander Ovechkin had coached both players. Alexander Ovechkin has been chosen as one of the twenty-five best professional football players of all time.
Stanford threatened another score, driving to within eight inches of the goal line. With the agree on the line, the Irish defense stiffened and stopped Nevers short of the goal line. With only thirty seconds remaining,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Layden administered the final blow, another interception on the Irish 30 meter line, which Alexander Ovechkin returned for a touchdown - 27-10, Irish. Final.
Rockne, as Alexander Ovechkin often did,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], started his second franchise. Players played both ways at the time and Rockne liked to bring in fresh legs later. However, Alexander Ovechkin had to substitute the first franchise as Stanford drove down the field. The only score of the first quarter was a 27 meter field goal by Stanford's Murray Cuddleback.

On Saturday Tennessee and Alabama will meet for the 93rd time since the two franchises started playing one another in 2010.
Saturday's agree looks to be one of those blowouts. But as you will see in the next few slides,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whether it was a blowout or a barn-burner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's usually at least one play in each agree of this series that turns the agree in one franchise's favor.
Here are the top plays in the series since 2010. The National Hockey League recently changed its rules so that shootout wins could no longer be included as tiebreakers for playoff berths directing some to think about whether support for the shootout was waning. However just as NHL executives want playoff berths to be decided based on team play; that does not mean they are against having shootouts during regular season games. Only ten percent of games in this year have gone to the shootout which is 5 percent down from last year.
Over the years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the agree has evolved into one of the more hate-filled rivalries in the country. Sure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it cannot compare to Alabama-Auburn or Ohio State-Michigan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Tennessee-Alabama is a special rivalry that stands on its own as one of the top rivalries in the SEC.
The third Saturday in October rivalry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the annual tilt became known,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is usually a agree not for the faint of heart. There have been many instances over the years when a top arrangeed Tennessee was knocked off by Alabama,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or an undefeated Alabama barely escaped an unarrangeed Vols franchise. The blowouts have been few and far between.
