Written by a member of the 1980 BYU football team, Hail Mary relives one of college football's greatest comebacks: BYU trailing SMU 45-25 with four minutes left, only to win 46-45 on a no-time-on-the-clock Hail Mary pass from Jim McMahon to Clay Brown and Kurt Gunther's game-winning extra point. Packed with player interviews, behind-the-scenes stories, and 'where are they now' updates, this is a nostalgic, faith-tinged tribute to persistence, teamwork, and never giving up.

  • The inside story of the greatest comeback in college football bowl history, told by someone who was on the field
  • BYU down 45-25 with four minutes left—and the fans leaving the stadium
  • A last-second Hail Mary from two Catholics playing for the Mormon school
  • Featuring future NFL stars and coaches: McMahon, Andy Reid, Eric Dickerson, Steve Young

Perfect for a longtime BYU football fan or Cougar Nation member who wants to relive the 1980 Miracle Bowl through insider stories and player updates.
