November 19
In an infamous game to determine the #1 ranking in college football on this day in 1966, first-ranked Notre Dame and second-ranked Michigan State played to a 10-10 tie at Spartan Stadium. The Irish, per coach Ara Parseghian’s instructions, ran out the clock at the end of the game instead of passing to score and risking an interception.
