1986 Notre Dame at Alabama highlights

Highlights from game played at Legion Field in Birmingham, 10/4/86. Keith Jackson and Tim Brant on the call for national TV.

[@timmurphy3609]

I was at that game. When Bennett hit Steve Beuerlein you could hear it in South Bend. That's the sound of a guy who benches 400 and runs a 4.4 forty blindsiding you

[@barrywilson6811]

Biscuit cleaned him up 💪🏾

[@forrestjinks6306]

The fact they called Burline down by contact on “the sack” instead of giving Alabama the ball was a crime

[@desmondholoman]

Thanks for posting this!!! I'm in it at 14:27. My 10 sec of fame. Roll Tide!!!

[@hserittg]

Good job! Roll Tide!

[@johnbarnett2316]

aye I know who you are.... roll Tide bro

[@pookiejames05]

Hope you’re still good Desmond! I for sure remember you playing…

[@alecks999998]

I was there, all the way from California. I was with Pete Khoury who was Deontay Wilders personal trainer for awhile. you had a good game Desmond. Man it was

[@alecks999998]

I was there from California for my brothers wedding. I was with Pete Khoury who ended up being heavyweight champ Deontay Wilders personal trainer. That play broke the Irish back! It was HOT that day!! lol

[@jimegan6848]

I remember this one being a sort of take your lumps and learn how to lthe against a mammoth. After falling to Michigan and Michigan State in close ones, then chalking up a win vs. Purdue I think this made ND 1 and 3.

[@ideniseb]

Keith Jackson gotta love him!

[@robotunes]

was at this game. the sound the crowd made when biscuit hit beurlein at 03:56 was the most animalistic sound i'd ever heard humans make. it was unreal. so much pent-up emotion for that game. unreal! ROLL TIDE!!!!

[@chris_o963]

You were not there ..

[@mm-gl7sz]

Bills fans made the same sound when Bennett hit John Elway his first pro game. Also in his first game against Marino .

[@robotunes]

Lol, you damn straight I was there. Amazing day.

[@tonycrabtree3416]

I forgot they didn’t call that hit by Bennett a fumble. I do now remember being so mad, but that punt return made everything alright.

[@Jason_903]

Sure miss Keith Jackson

[@theknowitall4090]

We were talking about this the other day. Up to that point this was the best Bama team since the Bryant days. They would have gotten run by 40 by any of Sabans teams. Tells you about how bad some of our coaches were.

[@randymiller3949]

Keith Jackson is a broadcasting legend. My dad use to love hearing him call a Bama game when they would play on ABC.

[@cgh7337]

Field temperature 112 degrees? Holy shit!

[@LusaOfi]

Keith Jackson....one of the best ever.

[@johncox2865]

THE best. I think he really loved Legion Field.

[@beerandtacos4747]

I was there that day. Great game!!

[@joeyrosas9090]

Badass you lucky Sir

[@joeyrosas9090]

Who were the quarterbacks for both teams

[@lamar2143]

I sat next to an older Notre Dame fan that day in the end zone. I enjoy talking to him the whole game.

[@jmc7504]

buerline was big qb, in 2000 watched him take beating in the superdome, broke his nose

[@jmc7504]

legion field was like an oven when the heat reflected that turf

[@robotunes]

roll tide, desmond!!!

[@kennethfutch5372]

5-2 Go Irish.

[@AteOnoy]

@@kennethfutch5372 42-14 Roll Tide!

[@RedElephantStampede]

Great acting job by the ND punter at 5:12

[@chevy59tom]

And it was a fumble.

[@tracecooper5306]

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? That would have been quite a rivalry.

[@MyNephewIsTough]

I will bet that the Bear and Saban would have had one hell of a rivalry in college football, had they ever been opposing head coaches.

[@arrowjsmith153]

Alabama dominated just like in 2012. 28-10 and 42-14 National Title.

[@kennethfutch5372]

24-23 / 13-11/21-16/7-0 and 37-6. GO IRISH.

[@mm-gl7sz]

@@kennethfutch5372 I'd like to see Notre Dame come back to true greatness. One of the extremely few programs that requires their athletes to actually study and take real courses and curriculums. Everybody said Joe Montana had no arm in the NFL but with the west coast system he didn't have to. Not only that he was very smart. Comes from actually having to study and maintain a high GPA while being an athlete at Notre Dame . And I went to Alabama and root for them. But I wish college football isn't what has become basically the farm teams for the NFL. So Notre Dame while having good teams can't play with the big boys anymore Recruiting wise because they don't have the money the big programs have for coaches or recruiting. That's too bad because Notre Dame used to be great and could always challenge the top teams from every conference and they also put alot of players in the NFL Who did well and they still had to meet educational requirements to stay at Notre Dame. That's how college football is supposed to be in my opinion

[@mm-gl7sz]

@@kennethfutch5372 what are your Irish doing now? Nothing. They'd better get in a power conference quickly and a goid one like the SEC so they can play great competition and build back up to where they were or Notre Dame will never see a National Title again. But hire another Lou Hiltz to do it. Before him Notre Dame didn't let players get BS degrees so the program could win. You had to graduate with a real and useful degree, even if you were an athlete. And under Parseghian and previous coaches before him, players graduated with real degreez that were useful in the real world, but they still won and won National Championships. For proof of how intelligent those Notre Dame players were, all you have to do is look at Joe Montana's college and pro career, especially his pro career. Fidnt have the greatest arm, and later in his career not a lot of mobility due to surgery. But he always figured out a way to win and could disect defenses to the tune of 4 Super Bowl titles. And he also beat Dan Marino , probably the best pure passer ever, handily in the 1984 Super Bowl. And unlike a certain ex Michigan quarterback whoas 7 Super Bowl rings, he didn't cheat. These the are the types of plsyers Notre Dame needs to start getting again

[@sethkershner3481]

3:56 ... Cornelius Bennett's immortal hit on the QB Steve B.

[@cgh7337]

#65 whiffed on the block.

[@chris_o963]

The entire Notre Dame football team is a whiff

[@cgh7337]

@@chris_o963 Just like how Bear Bryant whiffed on ever beating ND. What was the Bear's record vs the Irish? 0-4, 0-5?

[@mm-gl7sz]

Howard Cross was Bamas tight end. Just 4 years later he was helping the Giants beat Cornelius Bennett's Bills in Super Bowl 25

[@RodPower78]

One of the greatest plays of all time.

[@MyNephewIsTough]

oh, dang, did I miss the BCS National Title Game?? So, we did beat Notre Dame to win a second consecutive title? I just wish I had not have missed it. But man, who the hell is Ray Perkins? He is not our coach, Nick Saban is, right? Why is this Perkins claiming to be Alabam head coach when Saban has been our coach for years now?

[@mm-gl7sz]

Saban was not coaching Alabama in 1986

[@prodigalfarmer]

That guy at 5:29.. throwing toilet paper I've never seen such waste

[@MyNephewIsTough]

Did Saban ever meet Ray Perkins ?
