The video, unlike others, starts with Stanford's finaly scoring drive, led by John Elway, and features a run by my good friend then-Stanford (later LA / Oakland Raiders) Fullback Michael Dotterer to set up the field goal which would have got Stanford the win...had "The Play" not occured.

In this video, Jimmy Clausen explains that the reason he selected Notre Dame over all the other colleges going after him was simple: the resume of Charlie Weis.
