1988 #9 Michigan @ #13 Notre Dame No Huddle

1988 #9 Michigan Wolverines @ #13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish

[@patrickturner4581]

I attended this game in 1988. The national championship team. The Fighting Irish during this season, defeated the Big Ten champion Michigan, Miami Fla. defending national champions, Pac. Ten champions USC Trojans and undefeated West Virginia, all in one football season. Having seen many Michigan football teams in the late 70's, 80's and 90's, I believe Bo's 1988 may have been his best team. It was talented on both side of the ball, with great depth.

Two best fight songs in all of college football! This is coming from a PSU fan!

This was my 1st time at Notre Dame Stadium, I still remember every sight and sound as Gillette, the All American kicker, lined up for the 47 yard game winning kick. We had got down on the field under the goal post. From where we where standing I could look up and see the right post stretching up directly above me. When Gillette missed the kick I watched it sailing what look like right down the middle when halfway there it seemed like the invisible hand of God reached down and bumped the ball, because it started hooking left and came down right where I was standing about 2 feet wide! In the camera shot I can make out my uncle, who grabbed me and my 2 cousins in a bear hug. You can see him do it on camera, he’s wearing the white shirt. When we rushed the field my uncle somehow got ahold of Reggie Ho, picked him up a foot off the ground and shook him, I still remember exactly what poor Ho looked like as he realized a fanatic had ahold of him with no help in sight. We where the last people to leave the field...I was 13, greatest night of my life; until about a month later when I went to my 2nd game in South Bend. For Catholic’s vs Convict’s.

This was my first game at ND stadium as a freshman so my seat was in the north end zone. The final kick by MI was in the opposite end zone and we only knew we had won after the crowd at that end started cheering. I'll never forget that moment.

Look at those defenses damn especially Notre Dame. They used to play some smash mouth football up north

[@CoreyT127]

Back when every year Notre Dame played 3 Big ten, mich/mich st./purdue. 3 Pac 10,usc/ucla/stanford. 3 service academy army/navy/air force games then the likes of Penn st an Miami the remaining games. Just a murderous schedule .

Thank you so much. It is one of my favorite football games ever. I have been looking for the full game for years- could only find some highlights.

[@prestonbutler1543]

Best Notre dame team in my life

[@dentonyoung4314]

You could really tell it was the first game of the season. A lot of mistakes especially on special teams, the timing wasn't quite there on some routes. But both teams played hard and it was a tension-filled, close affair. A very fun game for this neutral to watch. Thanks for posting it.

Awesome game, best year in college football.

[@pauledwards1157]

My senior year. Just as one of the other guys posted, I couldn’t tell from where I was standing whether it was good or not. Just knew he missed by the crowd reaction. Still remember that clearly. It was a heck of a game!
