"1. Joe Montana, QB, 1974-78: \r\n\tMontana was not allowed to play as a freshman in 1974, but flashed his late-game heroics early on in his sophomore season when he rallied the Irish against North Carolina in Chapel Hill \u2014 tossing for 129 yards and scoring 14 points in 1:02 of game time. He led a 20-point comeback the next week against Air Force, and the career of arguably the greatest fourth-quarter QB ever to play was in full force. After sitting out a year due to a seperated shoulder, Montana once again led a historic comeback in game three of the 1977 season. He started the next nine games \u2014 winning all of them \u2014 and led the Irish to the 1977 National Championship with a win over No. 1 Texas. In 1978, Montana pushed the Irish to a second straight Cotton Bowl win and a 9-3 overall record his final season. The \"Chicken Soup Game\" win over Houston in his final college game has become a legendary tale that was only a precursor of things to come for Golden Joe, Comeback Joe, Joe Cool and The Golden Great. Montana was a third-round pick by the 49ers in the 1979 NFL Draft and went on to win all four of his Super Bowl appearances \u2014 claiming three Super Bowl MVP trophies. He could be the greatest QB ever to play the game.\r\n\r\n\tRelated Content:\r\n\r\n\t\u2022 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2013 Team Preview\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Notre Dame Cheerleader Gallery\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;5 Greatest Moments in Notre Dame Football History\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Ranking All 125 College Football Coaches for 2013\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Ranking the Top 50 Quarterbacks of the BCS Era\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;Ranking the top 50 Running Backs of the BCS Era\r\n\t\u2022&amp;nbsp;10 Teams That Could End the SEC's National Title Run\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
