"I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Hail Mary,' and I'm grateful Ryan took the time to write it. I can't overstate how important the Miracle Bowl victory was to the BYU Football program -- especially the dramatic way the victory was achieved. Ryan's recap of the game was inspiring to read and reminded me of many interesting details I had forgotten about." -- LaVell Edwards, BYU Head Football Coach, 1972-2000

"Former player provides wide-angle look at BYU's best bowl moment. If you were in the stands at Jack Murphy Stadium on Dec. 19, 1980, your pulse might finally be normalizing. But another spike could be on the way. Just in time for the gift-giving season comes a book on the most legendary play in BYU sports history: Jim McMahon's rainmaker to tight end Clay Brown at the end of Holiday Bowl III, assuring the Cougars their first bowl victory.

Ever since McMahon appeared at the LaVell Edwards Stadium last month to be inducted into the school hall of fame, the memories have been as thick as Brown's neck. Now, Utah attorney Ryan Tibbitts, a player on that historic team, is telling it from an up-close-and-personal perspective in his Dec. 9 release. 'Hail Mary: The Inside Story of BYU's 1980 Miracle Bowl Comeback' reveals previously untold anecdotes as well as nine game lessons that illustrate how overcoming a 20-point deficit in four minutes can apply to life. For instance, he says to never give up, to trust yourself, and to ignore the wordimpossible. 

'Hail Mary' will fill you in and even take you places a game ticket would never allow."   -- Brad Rock, Deseret News
