[QUOTE="GSOJacket, post: 702284, member: 727"] Nov 15, 1952 vs. Alabama. I believe this may have been the first nationally televised college (regular season?) football game. Alabama was ahead 3-0 in the second half, first down on our 5 yard line and a opportunity to basically put the game away. Jackie Rudolph, all of 160 lbs, saved the game on fourth down: The $125,000 Tackle (November 15, 1952) Georgia Tech 7, No. 12 Alabama 3. In the most exciting game, at that time, in Tech annals, Jackie Rudolph’s “$125,000 tackle” of Bobby Marlow helped preserve the victory, earned Tech a Sugar Bowl bid (and the $125,000 payout) but also preserved the Jackets’ 12-0 season and the Institute’s third national title. Dean Griffin (Dean of Students) had a blown up picture of Rudolph's tackle (turned Marlow upside down on about the 2 yard line) that spanned an entire wall of his office. [/QUOTE]
