Bob Gladieux Scores Only Notre Dame TD in Game of Century

Gladieux Catch Leads to National Title

I don’t know about you, but I’m starving for football.  In an attempt to satisfy my craving I came across this video of Louisville’s own Bob Gladieux.  His 34-yard touchdown catch was the only Notre Dame touchdown during what has been dubbed the “Game of the Century” after Michigan State and the Fighting Irish played to a 10-10 tie on November 19, 1966.

After both teams finished the season 9-0-1, Notre Dame still claimed the AP National Championship.  Thus because of Gladieux’s catch, the Fighting Irish won a National Title.  Gladieux went on to be drafted 8th overall by the Boston Patriots in the 1969 NFL draft.  He is looked upon by many Leopards fans as the greatest player to put on a Louisville uniform.
