I was on the 45 yard line for "Catholics vs Convicts" in 1988, one of the great games in college football history. The fan entertainment level today is 10x, that of 1988, but during breaks in 1988 we never sat down, but we did talk football during the infrequent short commercial breaks. Only 1% of these fans are talking football during this two minute music fest and light show.
This moment during a break in the ND/Miami game gave me chills.

Yeah, best part of this play is Jordan Faison's footwork. Second best part is CJ Carr's ball. But hat tip to Mike Denbrock for setting this up. Irish almost *always* run when the tight end motions into the backfield. Denbrock knows that, which makes playaction devastating.
Same rule. Identical situation. Same endzone. ACC offcials. Gold helmets. Terabytes of fan complaints. ☘️

Let's run it back in January with Toney.
Amid the topical debate, I recalled a similar situation in Notre Dame’s win over No. 1 Clemson.
On a pivotal 3rd down in the 4th, it appeared Avery Davis had caught a go-ahead TD with control of the ball in bounds, but the ball got stripped away.
Same thing, both incomplete.

Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman: "This is as good as a win that I’ve ever been a part of."

Notre Dame is a SPECIAL place ☘️
I’ve been to dozens of stadiums, seen dozens of teams play…
What I witnessed in South Bend tonight is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
Notre dame’s campus was something out of a storybook. The leaves were falling, low 50s… football weather
In the stadium, it was even more special. When I got to my seat (day before the game on @tickpick), my breath was taken away.
Then Notre Dame brought out Hall of Famers and Jon Bon Jovi… and fans stormed the field.
What a special night in South Bend.
🤝 Paid partnership

Miami never led in the game. Not for a second
Closest they were to winning was the handshake – at Goshen, IN

Notre Dame’s new LED wristbands are ELECTRIC.
Every college sports team needs to implement this.
