I remember listening to this one live on Armed Forces Radio as TNT started their Sunday night schedule which gave every team at least one such game a season. John Harvey's TD reception with 4:21 remaining was the game winner, although the play of the game was Gary Anderson's 11-yard run in which he leapt over three defenders from the four-yard line to land in the endzone for the score.
