@@peterrodriguez5245, I'm a big fan of the *PAC-12,* especially Utah, USC and UCLA, I live in Provo Utah that's why I like Utah, as a kid l liked USC and UCLA
Life long Irish fan from South Bend. Spoke with him 3 or 4 times over the years. Let's say, I know who he is and he recognizes me. One time, my brother in law and I went into a bar and as we walked by he said "Hi, Dave" Well my brother in law was kind of star struck and was impressed that called me by name until I pointed at my name on my company work shirt LOL Nice guy, tho. Approachable and engaging, always smiling. P.S. I was at this game!
ND Masters of the option. USC had no answers. Marinovich deserved those last two sacks And fitting poetic justice that it was number 37 Kowalkowski who knocked him down at the end of the game. GO IRISH! Love it even more because 37 was my varsity number in high school.
Your 5-1 edge is now gone rocket. And you can only hope you'll never meet up with them again. It's embarrassing to watch you two play as it's so one-sided.
Notre Dame still holds the all time series against Alabama. Not only that, The Tide is a dying dynasty, and the Irish are on the rise with Freeman. By the time the two schools meet again (2028/2029) Alabama’s Golden Boy Saban will be retired. Notre Dame on the rise and Alabama’s dynasty on the collapse? You love to see it ☘️
Man was Tony Rice a great quaterback. Only now do you I realize how great a passer he actually was. That bullet to The Rocket was as well delivered a pass as youj can make. Clausen has that kind of accuracy as well....
My grandfather died this night....we were back from the hospital for a break after spending most of the last two days there, and watching the ND game, when my dad proclaimed at the end of the game, "ND is eventually going to lose a game, but not f'ing today!" Todd M. shouldn't have been such an ahole after SC's last score, came back to haunt him. That ND defense was stout!
+LeGawd James Who's the fool? What I'm saying is absolutly true. I've been watching football a lot longer than you, and I'm telling you that this crap never used to happened. There are plenty of games from the 70s and 80s you can watch on CZcams to see for yourself. No dancing idiots to be found!
I have to say I feel bad for him. I'm sure I don't know the full story but from what I've read he lived in a pressure-cooker until it finally was too much.
Tis was an incredible game Marinovich was a really good qb and not sure y he couldn't get over the hump in the NFL cuz he had everything you're looking for in an NFL qb...Was athletic , tall--6'4", rocket arm, could read defenses, was accurate, etc..Really had it all so still confused.?.?.?
ESPN profiled him on their "25 Biggest Busts Show". They said he wasn't allowed to be a kid when he was a kid, so acted like one as an adult. That doesn't excuse him from his own responsibility but it's not all his fault either.
The 80s was the last great decade of college football. The nationalization of the sport combined with influx lower-tier bowl games have perverted the game.
kryer981 as well as professional boxing it would seem. Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Arguello, Duran, Tyson, Cruz, Whitaker. Those glory days are gone forever. Thanks a lot Don King.
The games had 'flow'. There are so many reviews and commercials today...and back then, the announcers let the game evolve...today, they announcers try and 'make' the game.
Derek Wood Plus the fact if you have a 11-1 or 10-2 season its considered a “failure” because you didn’t get into the CFP🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ Back then going to the Rose Bowl or the Orange Bowl was a reward especially for teams like Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Penn State who don’t see nice weather most of the year.
The series appears to be pretty cyclical. USC's had ND's number over the last several years but I'm not sure how much longer that's going to last now that 1) Brian Kelly is the head coach at Notre Dame, and 2) Pete Carroll seems to be running into a bit of trouble down in L.A. with "institutional control." I'm actually a fan of Coach Carroll's so I haven't minded seeing them win so much under him. But streaks don't last forever and I wonder how much longer USC's current one is going to last.
@ndunabomber do u know he got all his talent? he was also called the "robo QB" this was because he was trained every since he was little kid to be a football player. His life was football and working out. Thats why he had the build...he was working out ever since he hit puberty. His dad would stretch him when he was a baby to make his legs stronger and rediculous stuff like that. Yes he could have been great. But he hated his life. Thats why he turned to drugs
I take it you're a fan of the 2007 national champion LSU Tigers. Not sure what a fan of the current best team in college football gets out of stumbling into a message board and talking crap against one of the current worst teams, but I'm hopeful in your case it's simply a matter of immaturity and in time when you reach adulthood you'll have grown out of such habits.
Why is it that it took until well into the 90's that someone designed shoulder pads and jerseys that fit? It looks like a bunch of 7th graders playing in HS equipment!
I remember watching this game while I was in the Navy. I was SOOO pulling for Notre Dame in this game and when they fell behind 7 - 17 I started to have doubts. The Irish OWNED USC for several years in the '80s and into the '90s, but as of right now I'm not sure when they're going to beat the Trojans, again.
What planet are you guys from? All refs are sanctioned from a conference. If they weren't PAC10 refs they were probably BIG10 or BIG EAST refs. Saying refs cheated is the most over used excuse for sore losers. Are refs human? YES! Do they make mistakes? YES! Do they cheat? HELL NO!!! Now grow up.
The level of talent on that field is crazy
The best
Notre Dame once had 41 players from a single team play in the NFL
Yeah thats crazy
RIP Junior Seau
USC, university of second choice.

Tony Rice ran that Option Offense masterfully for ND. Simple yet very effective in the different sets and variations.
Tony Rice ran that option to perfection! Miss everything about old school ND football down to the field!
I have met Tony Rice on a few occassions and he is a classy, friendly person.
I've met him, too! 😊

Two players on that field who ended up committing suicide.
USC #55 Junior Seau

Sad. RIP to them both.
wasn't alm killed in a car accident?

Thanks for the comment, we're working on it. Go Irish and Fight On!
I'm watching this video about 3 hours after seeing the Irish beating the Trojans in 2019. Electric atmosphere in the stadium.
Man o man these days of ND football were the best Rocket Tony Rice Chris Zorro we're unbelievable that team was awesome ☘️🏈☘️🏈
Great intensity watching ND take on all comers
I LOVE seeing those gold helmets in a frenzy. We always look like we're kicking a$$. Lol!
Wow, some unbelieveable talent on these two teams.
Notre Dame is currently 21-13 vs the SEC, with even records against LSU, Ole Miss, and Tennessee and a 5-1 edge against 'Bama.
Your 5-1 edge is now gone rocket. And you can only hope you'll never meet up with them again. It's embarrassing to watch you two play as it's so one-sided.

Rice is a fantastic QB..... Thats what ND needs QB just like Rice...
Man was Tony Rice a great quaterback. Only now do you I realize how great a passer he actually was. That bullet to The Rocket was as well delivered a pass as youj can make. Clausen has that kind of accuracy as well....
I played high school ball with Tony Rice. He proved all the doubters wrong. Love ya, bro. Spanky #70 Woodruff Wolverines
The 'Rocket' was indeed a rocket. Fastest CFB player that I've ever seen, before him and since him. What f'ckin' wheels man...
Heh. Todd "Marijuanavich" Marinovich. That kid was an amazing talent, with the perfect athletic build, and tossed it all away.
Best game I ever attended
My grandfather died this night....we were back from the hospital for a break after spending most of the last two days there, and watching the ND game, when my dad proclaimed at the end of the game, "ND is eventually going to lose a game, but not f'ing today!" Todd M. shouldn't have been such an ahole after SC's last score, came back to haunt him. That ND defense was stout!
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I know it's been at least a decade. Nonetheless, RIP to him. Hope you're doing okay these days.
These were the years notre dame had talent and swagger. A little arrogance if you will. No more do you see that at notre dame it’s not allowed
Swagger, charisma, personalities....whatever you want to call it! LOL From Ricky Waters to Chris Zorich to the Rocket.
when Notre dame was Notre dame boy
A tough contest, hard fought. You don't see this as much today.
Too many players focusing on what dance they are going to do and how their dreadlocks look than on the game.

Kowalkowski wins in the end with robopunk
I have to say I feel bad for him. I'm sure I don't know the full story but from what I've read he lived in a pressure-cooker until it finally was too much.
ya good game and an intresting momment in history for the foot ball community.
I LOVED the tenacity of this team!! This is the 14 year span when the Irish OWNED USC.
And then SC owned the Irish in the 2000’s.✌🏻
@@wishihadavette_2517 and then ND ownedUSC back.. holla😂

A very rare poor outing for the Rocket.
Tony Rice may be the BEST option QB ever!!!
Justin Penn him & jimil holliway give me goosebumps on how great they was wit that option play 🏈 👏 🏆 👍 🎉
@ Justin Tommie Frazier 2 national titles with Nebraska should be considered
AWESOME! Memory lane.... I fell in love with Notre Dame and learned to hate USC...lol.
You sound like a real winner.
Jim Rome has even said L.A. is a front running town, and the biggest front runners in L.A. are USC fans
Who gives a fuck what that hack has to say.
SAN FERNANDO Jim Rome is a joke...

Saw this game with LARRY FAITH
I thought the visiting team brought refs from their conference.
Was a fantastic QB
Classic!
Soooo, what was the point of your original comment?
Yes...all 7 home games. Haven't seen you post in a while. Coming to BC game?
good game

Cold day. Roboquarterback made an ass of himself. Robert Smith was here. Said it was too cold and left early. Total joke
Junior. ;-(
6:00 Marinovich to Marinovich
could have should have didn't HA!
Great game, to bad the good guys lost! Thanks for the memories.

Thankfully, under Kelly, we've started to beat them more consistently again.
The refs at ND always cheated
I think not, Washington clearly beat ND at home in the last time the two teams played only for Washington to be robbed of victory from the ND refs.
