About the Author: Ryan E. Tibbitts was a member of the 1980 BYU football team that pulled off the greatest bowl game comeback in history. The game has become known as The Miracle Bowl and still, over thirty years later, is regularly mentioned in the sports press as one of the greatest college football games of all time, one of the greatest sports “miracles” and included one of the most spectacular “hail mary” plays in history. Over the years, as Ryan would occasionally reminisce about that week in San Diego with his team mates, he learned some things about that comeback that he did not know-things that he thought other BYU and sports fans would like to know about. At one time, Ryan assumed Holiday Bowl III would fade from the public memory enough that he could tell people he caught the hail mary pass, but, to his dismay, the allure of that game has not faded and in some respects has grown. So, he has to be content with being one of the BYU players on the roster that night. Now, he can also claim that he documented the inside story of that game for others to enjoy. You Might Also Like:
