Always

I was just about to comment on that lol

He DID step on the back of the end zone after his 65 yrd TD run!

Yeah I noticed that too. Jackson made a lot of bad observations 🤣

Yea sir! That’s how I felt about the U but certain teams demand respect!

Didn't they have a high preseason ranking going into the 1995 season? But yeah they weren't jack sh*t for a minute.

yes was a great era! Im proud to have a Lou Holtz ball and a Tony Rice cap from that era. Also happy to have seen that season live! GO IRISH!

89 team was better, but had a bad half & turnovers ruin their season. 93 was also just as good as 88. 90 was a powerhouse as well. ND was elite in late 80s/early 90s.

I was in 8th grade to Florida what State was you in ?

You really trying to include 1984, 85', and 86' in your "decade of dominance ?? 84 and 85 were Jerry Faust years. 🤣🤣

@@brucemolett9843 GERRY AND YES THAT IS THE POINT. Even with Gerry Faust they were beating USC. 🎉

They (ND Defense) were definitely punishing people. Chris Zorich has a podcast on YT and you should hear his discussion with Linebacker and teammate 'Wes Pritchett' about this game. Very funny and enlightening.

I’m sure they found SC was physical too . 😉

Lol same here, i was in the 8th grade and i remembering watching it at 330 kickoff on Abc..man good time back then

I watched it, too - 22 years to the day ND put a 51-0 shellacking on the Trojans en route to a national title under Ara. That still stands as the worst defeat in Trojan history.

@@mlang28 I was in the eighth grade as well I watch this game curious what state you live in ?

I was in ninth. Great time to be an Irish fan

Rice was so underrated and so damn good. Deadly with the play action pass and dangerous either with the quarterback draw or keeping it on the triple option.

True.

Strong arm? Yes. Accurate passer? No. It's something he had to work on. Holtz had him throwing darts in the offseason to improve his accuracy. And I mean that literally- actual darts at a dartboard. And Rice did, in fact, improve his accuracy. But nowhere close to NFL level. Great college QB, though. If ND had some type of HOF, Rice would be slam dunk.

He was a fantastic player!

Not an NFL quarterback. Great player though.

What about Ron Paulis?

❤the 🚀rocket & notre dame football coach Lou holke;; r ❤ 1970s/ 1980s college football

He had mike Adele’s covering the beginning of the play. Jackson did fine. What a great play for the irish

@@tro71357 I KNOW for a fact Jackson was anti ND ! I overheard him at a small gathering ,saying unflattering things about ND.Tom Kelly had a REVERENCE for ND ,You could hear it in his voice.

@@michaelkraus4135 that's right,jackson was without a doubt the BIGGEST notre dame hater of THEM ALL!!!

@@casedismissed8581 Thanks Bob. This is a shot in the dark,Bob are you from LA CANADA Flintridge ?

On NDs first play, he said Rice Stepped out the back of the Endzone, yeah, if he were 2 more yards deep maybe.

Oh dont worry we back

@@kellancarney810hopefully

So they don't get jam

I remember 2 things about Jeff Alm from that year - His ability to knock down passes and a Sports Illustrated writer's comment on his talent in the Miami game. "Jeff Alm and those damn long arms..." (paraphrase since I don't recall the next part definitively) "knocked down another pass." To that point I had saved every Sports Illustrated since ~ 1975, but I was getting tired of a growing anti ND sentiment. If you don't believe it, delete any reference to who actually won the game and read that article - you would be convinced ND, who led the whole way and by 2 TD in the 1st half, had gotten whupped....I cancelled my subscription.

I don't have any of their other games other than the ones i've put up, unless someone uploads them.

Jim Dougherty Michigan could have made the Catholics vs Convicts meaningless. if and only if Michigan PK made the field goal back in September, and kept the lead against Miami of that year. Miami was robbed vs ND that day by ref.

Does the USC cheerleaders have a PA system like they used to 3:43

GO IRISH !

@@thedivomeister6308 robbed. Yeah by Notre Dame's defense and all of their turnovers. That was the only robbing going on. Miami could never play smashmouth football. They were more a pansy speed school.

Right

They were also making some academic concessions at that time in regards to recruiting and those players, like Tony Rice, that they allowed in were having success in the classroom as well as on the field. After a few years the university, despite evidence showing these students were doing incredibly well, all but stopped those exceptions and after that it became more difficult to recruit.

@@jamesmarhen i am old nd nut...54.....love forever--just wish they could get top 50 guys....o line and d line dominant this yr...if their is a year..doubtful...

@@jamesmarhen And that’s why Notre Dame keeps struggling in big games.

Why can't your kind speak English correctly?

@@bennyrobinson1935 your kind? Excuse me?

Jackson was obviously confused. Rice's foot hits the back of the painted USC logo, which as you said, is about 5 feet from the actual back line. I liked Keith Jackson, but it was obvious he had a dislike for Notre Dame.

@@blacksabfan Here's another example of an odd call by Jackson during a Notre Dame play. he corrected himself fairly quickly, but he disturbed his own call of a game winning field goal by prematurely pointing out a penalty that wasn't occuring.....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJunaNlpt7u7qmg.html

I know I rewatched that part he was not even close to back of end zone lol

And om Smagala's interception, he called it incomplete. Jackson disliked ND.

He didn’t make a good call the entire game. He was biased and it was obvious he hated ND. He INTENTIONALLY mispronounced the ND QB name every year. Or just made up a story that didn’t relate to the reality. Listen to him say “MY-ruh all you want. He wasn’t “making a few bad calls,” he was intentionally making bad calls bc of his bias.

My faves were 66 and 77! Awesome rivalry

There’s a conspiracy that the players wanted ara out so they said they show there best then they’ll show there worst

The first half of 74 was really good but then the 3rd qtr started

Why don’t you change channels you coward? We destroyed you last year , wasn’t even a game ca LOB tossed 3 picks before half , Notre dame drew up the blueprint to stop cryleb, he lost 6 of last 7, never won a bowl game, cried like a baby to mommy after losing to Washington, sat on the bench drinking water as Utah walked down the field for game wining field goal, go watch the lack 12 network, oh that’s right that lame conference went out of business lmao

Geez it’s been over 30 years,

The team loses, not one player.
