The Colorado Buffaloes, a team of comebacks and controversy, overcame the loss of their top quarterback Darian Hagen to earn its first National Championship with a 10-9 victory over Notre Dame. Colorado Wins National Championship The game was billed as a showdown between Colorado's Eric Bieniemy and Notre Dame speedster Raghib "Rocket" Ismail and the two did not disappoint. Bieniemy, lead both teams with 86 hard fought yards on the ground, 19 yards through the air and the Buffaloes lone touchdown. Ismail ignited the crowd with a 91-yard punt return with 43 seconds remaining in the game that appeared to be the winning score.
