Yes, it was an anti-Catholic gesture. Which was common place when Notre Dame played teams in the south. I remember listening to the game live on the radio and the field reporter on the broadcast was describing the Georgia Tech fans throwing dead fish calling the Notre Dame players mackerel snappers. They were also throwing empty half pint bottles of booze and batteries. I also heard this story from two Notre Dame players that were there. Evidently, it was going on longer than this tape delayed broadcast showed. A very similar thing happened to Notre Dame the year before (1977) when they played at Clemson. The Clemson fans were worse because they kept calling the ND players at the hotel and also sent a bomb threat to the hotel. Coach Dan Devine had to clear the whole team by order of the police and fire department at 3am the day of the game. Clemson was ranked 15th in the country then and their fans tried to make it very difficult for the Irish. They took a 17-7 lead on ND but the Irish prevailed 21-17 and went on to beat #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl 38-10 to win the 1977 national championship. That was my favorite ND team ever! Go Irish!☘️

@@LeahysLads Same here ('77) and thanks for the info. Go Irish! ☘

That was an incredible pass.

Doesn't LSU still consistently wear white jerseys at home?

The road-team-wears-white rule was in place from 1983 through 1996.

IINM they amended that rule so that one team has to wear white. It doesn't matter which team, just one team has to wear white.

I grew up watching Tech play during this era. It's still disorienting for me to see them wear dark jerseys.

@@8avexp There must be exceptions. UCLA and USC both still wear dark jerseys when they play. Crosstown rivals.
