[PAR] [TLE] Keith Jackson [SEP] Keith Max Jackson (born October 18, 1928) is a retired American sportscaster, known for his career with ABC Sports (1966–2006), his intelligent yet folksy coverage of college football (1952–2006), and his distinctive voice, with its deep cadence and operatic tone considered "like Edward R. Murrow reporting on World War II, the voice of ultimate authority in college football." [PAR] [TLE] 1978 NCAA Division I-A football season [SEP] The 1978 NCAA Division I-A football season was the first season of Division I-A football; Division I-A was created in 1978 when Division I was subdivided into Division I-A and I-AA for football only.  The season came down to a rare #1 vs. #2 post-season meeting as #1 Penn State and #2 Alabama met in the New Year's Day Sugar Bowl.  The game is most remembered for Alabama's goal line stand with four minutes left in the game.  On fourth down and a foot, Alabama managed to keep Penn State out of the end zone and went on to win 14-7.  Keith Jackson, who did the play by play for ABC, called it the greatest game he'd ever seen.  76,824 people packed the Louisiana Superdome, which was tremendously loud.
