message: The following to be added after the sentence ending with the words “put Notre Dame on the football map.”
 
The game's significance to the development of the forward pass was immediately recognized. The day after the game the Sunday edition of the New York Times devoted three columns to the game observing that "Football men marveled at this startling display of open football....(they) had never seen the forward pass developed to such a state of perfection." As the years passed, prominent football historians agreed with the initial assessment of the game's impact.  Allison Danzig, football historian and long-time sportswriter for the New York Times wrote, "In 1913 came the greatest impetus of all to the use of the forward pass. This was the sensational victory of Notre Dame over Army at West Point...."  And, in the year 2000 ESPN declared coach Jesse Harper's decision that day to use the forward pass to be the greatest single coaching decision in football in the 20th century, college or professional.
