Marshall fan here: one amazing thing about this is that Marshall sacked Dave Dickinson 10 times in this game. 10 times! But interestedly, they didn't sack him at all in the fourth quarter. Marshall sacked him twice in the first quarter, six times in the second quarter, and twice in the third quarter. Dickinson certainly showed a lot of resilience and I think his experience and leadership won this game for Montana.
An incredible game (I'm a Montana fan). Dave Dickenson had the goods to be a top flight NFL QB but never got the chance to prove himself. I'll forever be upset about this.
That's what everyone said. There are shorter QBs (Russell Wilson) in the league right now; Flutie was shorter, others have been in the same general size range. He didn't get a chance to prove his critics wrong, which I have zero doubt he would have done if he would have been given a fair chance.
As a strong Marshall fan, I consider this loss to be very painful because I really do believe that Marshall was the better team that year. However, they made a lot of terrible mistakes and essentially LOST THE GAME. Montana played a better game and deserved to win.
I watched this game the morning after my friend's 11th birthday. Definitely the most recent of the "good ol' days" of Griz football.

Dave Dickenson was too undersized to be an NFL quarterback, but he became a legend in the CFL.

Another GREAT Montana 1-AA Championship!
