Reliving 1995 Game-by-Game, Part 14: Sugar Bowl Victory

Two videos are included.  The first is a full-length video of the Sugar Bowl from start to finish, while the other features highlights, player interviews, and post-game celebrations.  Watch the second if you don’t have a lot of time.  At some point I recommend carving out some time to watch the entire game, though.
