Question whether film still exists from the game by SixShutouts66

The TV networks tended to reuse videotape at that time; so most games of that era exist only on highlight films. For instance, SuperBowl 1 was thought to be lost and required a substantial effort to piece it together. I believe only the second half of the 1966 game against Michigan State is available.

Some of Leahy's Lads were able to construct a highlight tape of games that era with bits and pieces of highlight films that were saved.

BTW the game was shown on campus and rerun many times. Perhaps someone at the local TV had the foresight to save a copy.
