age 72 just 2 days before 50th anniv. of Immaculate Reception.............even though we (Cowboys) lost twice to them you had to respect them.............boys the stars of our youth are dropping like flies........Steelers Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris dies at 72
My parents were massive Penn State fans. That two-headed battering ram of Lydell Mitchell and Harris was basically unstoppable in that season they beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
He was one of the greats. He will always be known for one of the most incredible catches vs. Oakland in a playoff game. "Immaculate reception" where he scored a TD and the Steelers went on to win. RIP
