Riding the talent of the perhaps most fabled quartet in college football history, Notre Dame established itself as a football powerhouse, losing only 2 games in the 3 years they were together.
The Four Horsemen were Quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, Halfbacks Don Miller, and Jim Crowley, and Fullback Elmer Layden. The expression goes back at least to the 1924 Notre Dame backfield the famed Four Horsemen. Not surprisingly, the story starts at the confluence of Catholicism and Football The University of Notre Dame. But how did a last second desperation play become known as a “Hail Mary”? It’s one of the most well known terms and iconic plays in sports. Touchdown!!! An amazing win on a last second Hail Mary! A receiver improbably comes down with the ball. He heaves the ball high in the air with no real target, only trying to get the distance to reach the end zone. The defensive backs and receivers bunch up waiting for the ball to descend. The quarterback drops back, scrambles, waiting for his receivers to get near the goal. The defense pulls the pass rush and defends deep. The offense has the ball at their own 48-yard line and are down by more than a field goal.
