The Missing Chapter Podcast
Run To Daylight Part I
When it comes to college football, no other program in the country conjures up the history and the mystique that the University of Notre Dame does. Outlined against a blue-grey October sky, the Golden Dome in South Bend has preserved the legacies of football royalty. In November 1937, arch rival Southern Cal and Notre Dame were tied at 6 in the waning moments of the 4th quarter when a young, backup fullback wearing #58, took the handoff on a reverse and ran 70 yards to the USC 13-yard line. Two plays later, that same fullback would score standing up, and secure the win for the Irish. However, unbeknownst to him, his 70-yard run that gave his football team a victory, would save his life...5 years later.
