RFC Throwback Thursday Season Finale: 1983 NCAA Division I-AA National Championship Game-Southern Illinois vs. Western Carolina

The third season of "RFC Throwback Thursday" comes to a close, with a look back at the NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) National Championship Game between the Southern Illinois University Salukis and the Western Carolina University Catamounts from 1983. While this contest wasn't necessarily known for its competitiveness, as SIU crushed WCU 43-7 for the lone football national championship in program history, it was likely known more for who was in the broadcast booth on that December day more than 36 years ago, with the late Keith Jackson and the late Frank Broyles doing the play-by-play and color commentary, respectively. As always, sit back and enjoy one of the greatest moments in non-power conference college football.
