Army-Navy didn't stand alone like it does now. Imagine putting on figure skating between two football games, rather than going right to the next game. ABC Sports, recognized around the world as the leader in sports television.
Unfortunately, neither team knew what the forward pass was yet. But we really get to see the true Army-Navy atmosphere because there were so few commercials.
Jerry Ford didn't stumble. Both teams played Notre Dame in '74. Army lost 48-0 while Navy gave ND all they could handle and even led 6-0 going into the fourth quarter before ND pulled it out.
Couldn’t agree more. For years, both teams’ uniforms were as classic as Notre Dame’s…………..why wouldn’t both schools want to preserve that tradition for this annual game ?
The thing I love is that even though Army lost they were still happy and festive
Chris Schenkel calling the Army-Navy game for ABC, back in the 1970's!!!
Thanks for posting I can always remember watching this growing up classic memories ❤️ wish there was more of these from the 70's
I remember the white strap navy had on the back of the helmets. Great to see this old matchup.

I thought that both teams stood for the other's alma mater at the end of the game. Or is that a tradition that started more recently.

Does any one have the army vs navy 1977 game
I remember when both teams wore their traditional uniforms instead of the god awful monstrosities they wear nowadays.

Completely agree. It's a shame they wear the absurd-looking uniforms nowadays.
Navy best was the throwback to early 60s during Staubach senior year.
