Tom Clements’ Playing Career:
Say hello to QB Tom Clements, MVP of the 1973 Sugar Bowl, who led his undefeated #3 ranked Fighting irish over Paul “Bear” Bryant’s undefeated #1 Crimson Tide.
Talk about gutsy calls late in games—-how about legendary coach Are Parseghian electing to have Clements throw out of his own end zone on a 3rd and 13, up 24-23, with 2 minutes left in the game—-and Clements, off play-action, throws a perfect 37 yard strike to TE Robin Weber on a corner route.
