Our "12 Days of Bowl Games" series continues with a look back at the Holiday Bowl from San Diego, California on the night of December 19, 1980. In what was considered to be the greatest comeback in bowl history at the time, the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars, led by future NFL star quarterback Jim McMahon, rallied from a 20-point deficit in the final seconds to stun the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs, led by fellow future NFL star running backs Craig James and Eric Dickerson, 46-45, with a spectacular touchdown catch on the game's final play. This installment also includes the radio call of the dramatic ending to this incredible classic.
