At the height of the civil rights movement, two teams came together on the gridiron to battle for the bragging rights of calling themselves the true No. 1 overall team on Nov. 19, 1966.

The MSU running back during the game, Clinton Jones, said the players had no care for any race disputes. Jones said the intensity on the game was strictly because of both teams’ competitiveness.
