There are also microphones on the quarterbacks, which was another first. Finally, there is a portable camera on the sidelines. We have seen NBC do this in 1956. They seem to have not followed through but Roone Arledge did.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, it is thought the first overhead camera use in an NCAA game came at The Liberty Bowl in 1964.
