Joe Starita to appear in ESPN film this Sunday

Beginning Sunday, Nov. 16, ESPN will air a series of 30-minute programs leading to the first four-team college football playoff.

“Two Points, One Title,” a film documenting Tom Osborne’s decision to go for two points against Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl, will air at 8 p.m. Eastern.

Jon Frankel, who wrote and produced the show, talked with the coaches, players and media who covered the game, which the Hurricanes won 31-30 when Turner Gill’s two-point conversion pass to Jeff Smith was tipped away.

Joe Starita, journalism professor, was also interviewed and was just notified that ESPN is using a portion of his interview in this piece.
