1951 Orange Bowl

Ghosts of the Orange Bowl facebook page posted footage of the game vs Miami (the one with the safety to win it at the end). I’ve been wanting to see footage of this game forever…

That page has started popping up on my feed and I love seeing those posts.

Always great history from HS, college and pro players and teams!

My father was there. He had a game program somewhere, but I have no idea where it is now.

Two undefeated teams!

Narrow Tiger victory. We killed them in all the stats, but needed a miracle play to win it.

The teams combined for 7 interceptions. Yikes. Frank Howard once said, “Three things can happen when you pass and two off them are bad.”

I’m sure it’s apocryphal …

I’m sure it’s apocryphal and many coaches have been credited with supposedly coining the phrase.

Thank you for posting....

I had no idea there was any kind of video of this game. My grandparents went to the game - it was the first football game my grandmother ever attended. I have the program.

What a great game!!

Go Tigers!!!!
