"This book is well-crafted for a diverse range of audiences. It demonstrates a deft ability to both present a thorough depth of research and accessibility to both academic and popular audiences. During the holiday season, this is the sort of book that would make a great gift for a college football fan."

"As a straight retrospective about the game itself, the book provides a deep and focused analysis of the tactics and conditioning that allowed a roster of undersized stars to take down a Big Ten dynamo. As an investigation into the dynamics that allowed Appalachian State to win the game, it captures the moment in time quite well while also enriching its story with biographical information."
