I saw this game live from my Dad's living room in Pensacola Florida. Both Rockets kick off returns made us happy. Bo Schemblecker said he wish he could of shot The rocket in the back on those returns after the game. That curmudgeon. Lou Holzt was a great coach.
I was at this game! Had endzone seats. Was with 3 friends who were Michigan fans. First return unfolded right in front of us and he hit the hole and made his cut like he was shot out of a cannon. Just incredible! Second one we kinda came out of a wadded up mess. I’ve seen a ton of football live in my life and him and Ahmad Green from Green Bay are the two fastest as far as getting to speed instantly
I have been a staunch Michigan football fan since young boyhood during the 10 Year War between Bo & Woody. I watched this game and there is still a hole in my heart from it. Bo's last season and #2 Michigan's golden chance at home to take out the #1 defending natl' champs. We were the better team overall but ND had a good team AND the Rocket. I curse the Rocket to this day...but have much love & respect for Notre Dame. Might take my son to South Bend next week. Can't beat the tradition of these two old blue-bloods. And i want to pay homage to Touchdown Jesus. Go Blue! 😉
Good to hear a Michigan fan with a level head. Good luck Saturday. If you don't know, Touchdown Jesus is no longer visible from the Notre Dame Stadium after the expansion after 1997. Yes, in certain parts way up near the library, Touchdown Jesus can still be seen. However, before the '97 expansion, Touchdown Jesus could be seen throughout the stadium. After the expansion and the "hiding" of Touchdown Jesus, ND has never been any good. (But yes, one year with Kelly they played Alabama for the National Title but got crushed, 2013.) Neverthless, UM and ND should play every year.
@@BlantonDelbert Obstructing Touchdown Jesue HAS to produce some bad karma. We mess with tradition at our peril. Michigan hasn't been Michigan since we broke with tradition and hired RichRod---who wanted "lighter quicker linemen with more stamina." 🙄
@@BlantonDelbert I couldn't score tickets but now i'm glad i couldn't! 😉 Michigan looked ugly---STILL cannot block! But tip o' the hat to the Irish: They came READY and came out guns smokin'. Wimbush threw much better than he has in the past and of course killed us with his feet. Great rivalry between two great schools with a lot of respect for one another.
Serious???? He barely had 1,500 all-purpose yards and 5 total TD’s!! Andre Ware threw for more yards 4,699 and TD’s 46 than anyone before him. Between Ware in first and Ismail in 10th were - Indiana RB Anthony Thompson with his 1,800 yards and 24 TD’s - West Va QB Major Harris - Ismail’s teammate in QB Tony Rice - Colorado QB Darian Hagan- My favorite (Air Force QB Dee Dowis) - Florida RB Emmitt Smith- MSU LB Percy Snow - BYU QB Ty Detmer - and tied with the Rocket for 10th - Penn State RB Blair Thomas!!!!!
@@joegoog23 So, based on Statistical Criteria, how did Charles Woodson beat out Peyton Manning for the Heisman several years later? But enough of that. If we could please move on... Do not misunderstand. I am not now nor have I ever been even within a LIGHT-YEAR of being a fan of PM. The Reasons are part Merit-Over-Accident-Of-Birth (do not get me started on the UK's Royals...same thing here IMO) and part Personal Reasons I won't bore with you here. And even though I did not go to Michigan (thought about it, but it was just TOO Big), I was happy beyond what mere words can describe that CW beat out he who was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth and thus was entitled to HIS Heisman Trophy. Face it "Sir," the ONLY Reason you won either of those Super Bowls was that your Opponents only got there by dumb luck. The Seahawks let you guys know right where you stood in 2014. LOVED THAT, and I AM NOT anything even vaguely resembling a fan of that Proven Cheater P. Carroll. Take your disingenuous "Shucky darns and slop the hogs" blather somewhere else, Kemosabe ROFLMAO
This is when I hated ND. There were so good. It seems like they used to beat my Wolverines every year. I hope they get there act together. It would really help restore this rivalry.
They were a power-running team. Tony Rice was never known as a throwing quarterback and sometimes only threw a few times in the game, relying on the triple option to get the yards with the occasional bomb to a flanker. Think Georgia Tech's offense, but out of the I or T formations.
He played in the Canadian League for a while and was soon drafted by the Panthers in the 5th round. After that he was picked up as a free agent by the Cowboys. He was released in 2002.
Special teams really hurt Michigan. Then they couldnt move the ball until Grbac came in-whcih is ironic. I dont think Michael Taylor (the starting QB) played another down at UM. This was Bo's last year and when Moeller took over he had Elvis chucking the ball everywhere...
And that Includes Iowa Michigan Minnesota Michigan State Purdue Penn State( yeah i said it) Illinois Indiana Wisconsin Northwestern And the young Ohio State
Because ESPN, the NFL and the advertisers all need to maintain an interest in football all through the year. The Farve bullshit works to be able to get folks to geeked for the season which is several months away. None of this is by accident, it is manufactured.
your a vikes fan, lord im sorry about that Farve sitchuation. I think the vikes are good engough to win a Super Bowl without him. Actually having him might hurt your chances of reaching the Super Bowl. Seeing how hes Old and you cann't trust his arm any more. sorry bout that comment, i thought you where implying i was talking shit about the Big Ten.
No college player in that era put the fear into other teams quite like Ismail, one of the bigger Heisman snubs ever
It's never been anybody like the "Rocket" .. The excitement he invoked everytime he touched the ball and the fear he put in teams was otherworldly.
Tony Roberts was the greatest announcer ever to sit behind a microphone.
Pete v totally agree!!
Keith Jackson ;-)
Roberts for Radio, Keith Jackson TV@@GeoAce777
Tremendous disappointment when Roberts was let go. Don Criqui was awful. I fell asleep most games.
I can't believe Bo kicked off to him again.

lols Bo unintentionally using a play on words hah! 🔫🚀I forgot about those old school Wolverine helmets and I also saw the second return LIVE as a kid
Shembeckler never won the big one😂😂

Rocket = if he's even, he's leavin'
tony roberts is notre dame...loyal man....
Lou holtz thank you
Bo was stubborn/ stupid enough to think he could stop the rocket.
'Bye bye Baby ' 🚀

respect.
How did he not win the Hiesman?

He definitely deserved it in 1990. How Ty Detmer won it I'll never know.
@@joegoog23 The award is for the best player and he played against tougher opponents WTF
@@TheSBleederDetmer sucked and played in a weak conference
The Leprechaun all daaaaaaay loooooooooooooooong...
... nope. Qadry was quoted as saying that Raghib was faster, and that Raghib has the 10th fastest time in U.S. history.
1:57
#20 for Michigan had a decent pursuit angle on the Rocket.
It didn't matter.
Coincidentally, that same #20 would become a defensive coordinator for the Irish during the Weis years.
lols! it's like he waited to damn long to lunge at Raghib's legs
Rocket was the truth 💯🐐
Arguably one of the greatest college football player's of all time!
This is when I hated ND. There were so good. It seems like they used to beat my Wolverines every year. I hope they get there act together. It would really help restore this rivalry.
Lmao you Damm bet you the IRISH kicked Mich butt in those days
More National Championships, since 1900, than any other team---We Are ND!
Rocket was quick
4.18 hand time 40 yard dash and 10.32 electric in the 100 meters. Extremely fast.
im going to the Michiagan game this year for the first time in 4 years

Notre dame fighting Irish vs Michigan WOLVERINES 1989 Keith Jackson bob griese mike adamle
as long as they keep buying houses for players like Reggie Bush, SC should be on top for a long time.
their basketball program is pretty clean too.
This didn't age well. USC went in the dumps a few years later.
@mostlynoble
He started a few games after he recovered from a injury.
He played in the Canadian League for a while and was soon drafted by the Panthers in the 5th round. After that he was picked up as a free agent by the Cowboys. He was released in 2002.
Do you mind if I use clips if I shouted u out and put link in description
30 years ago
What video is this?
upload ''the play''
Special teams really hurt Michigan. Then they couldnt move the ball until Grbac came in-whcih is ironic. I dont think Michael Taylor (the starting QB) played another down at UM. This was Bo's last year and when Moeller took over he had Elvis chucking the ball everywhere...
I think Taylor played in games toward the end. I have to check if Taylor played in Rose Bowl vs USC
I wish i could hear the call from Keith
Herbie Hancock with the soundtrack
never called out the big Ten but i will say ND is better then eveery team in the Big Ten
rip tony roberts afterburners are on bye bye rocket
Wish they had Keith call
no, im going to the ND V.S. MICHIAGAN game this year. i hate michiagan, and i NEVER said i like them. im a ND alum.
LETS GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes and he did well. He played in the CFL & NFL. Made millions but lost it all with poor money management!
BreuckelensFinest Thanks! I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while now
And that Includes
Iowa
Michigan
Minnesota
Michigan State
Purdue
Penn State( yeah i said it)
Illinois
Indiana
Wisconsin
Northwestern
And the young Ohio State
