Overview

And the president thought politics was tough

NIXON'S NATIONAL CHAMPS is the story of how the 1969 college football national champion was crowned and the drama that surrounded it. Using rare footage of Nixon and his unexpected antagonist, Joe Paterno of Penn State, this film captures the folly of the President as he waded through the hornet's nest of polls and regional rivalries.
