I was there with my Dad, Papa, and Sister and we all went crazy. It was so loud. The UCLA fans in front of us were gracious though. This is memory I’ll never forget. Such a beautiful day.
I remember watching this when I was 7. This was my first full season as an ND fan (I live in California, both parents went to Purdue... hence the Indiana connection) I remember after the game I was going out to a fancy dinner with my family and extended family, and refused to leave the house without my Jeff Samarzidja jersey on!!
I was at this game as a young kid with my dad. Will never forget the memories. Especially the whole stadium going nuts after the score. Great times go Irish 🍀
Honestly, Charlie had some flaws but after David and Willingham, Charlie definitely brought hope back…with the recruiting mess he had to deal with alone I think he did better than he’s given credit for. Ultimately, his ego got in the way of being better…but definitely nit the worst coach ever for our Irish
9 year old me was in the other end zone when this play happened. I’ll always remember having to stand on top of the bleachers because I couldn’t see over the people in front of me. Man! Great memory.
This was supposed to be my first ever game in South Bend, however I was still acting like an idiot and was incarcerated so I missed this fantastic game. I also had payed a ticket agancy $500 this was for the bus ride to South Bend two nights in a hotel room plus the tickets to the game. I never did get reembersed. The only good thing about this was I have not been back to jail since I learned my lesson grew up and all it took was a missed Notre Dame game to finally knock some sense into me lol. ☘️GO IRISH!!!☘️
I miss Brady… when they played usc in 2005 I thought that that was the best game I’ve ever seen then when Texas vs usc that was the best game I ever seen !!
Always great to watch the Irish perform surgery on an opponent in the waning moments of any contest. That's not completely true. Tearing their hearts out and watching the deflation is the reckoning I enjoy.
This team could of had a real chance at an NC those couple years, the Bush push will forever haunt me. It’s something about this decade too, it was the last of a certain era of CFB. To me it’s not been the same, It’s just more about the coaches & athletes, not so much about the team, tradition, & universities anymore. It’s only going to get worse with how the rules have changed now, maybe it’s for the better for athletes long term, but it makes me think maybe all professional sports should have a minor/amateur/feeder league to remedy the issue of what CFB has turned into
this is still the only time i've heard that old lady Pat Hammond sound like he doesn't hate Notre Dame. speaking of which can we PLEASE get someone else up there calling the games PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE
I miss this commentator so much. You can hear in his voice he is a true fan. Unlike now. Mike tirico and “here’s a guy who knows a thing about Hail Marys” doug flutie 🤮
Brady is so good. Come on Smith over Quinn is BS. QUin has 5 more TDs and about 800 more yards. He is the most outstnding player wheter he is voted it or not.
yea but what about when notre dame had a huge win streak of USC. dont take this personally but get your facts straight before you talk trash. its been both ways in this rivalry. not a notre dame fan but notre damn will be back. and if your a usc fan dont cry when you are the ass
Hey, that reminds me of 1975. Matt Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett with about a minute left. Then Leinart to Bush, and finally Leinart scores on the QB keeper! USC wins 34-31. The Irish are humiliated, once again, in front of the home crowd.
We are ND. It's SO EMBARRASSING! I wore my ND sweatshirt to school and all the kids were laughing at me. My Mom sent away for a UCLA sweatshirt; it should be here any day now, all the way from California!

A couple of my favorite players, Quinn, and Samardzija.
I remember watching this the day before my 8th birthday and losing my mind, what an incredible moment

I was a kid also my hands were so sore lol
I was also at this game with my dad. 9 years old. Those are the kind of memories that make you fall in love with ND football. Go Irish!
Watched this on grandma's couch.... Can't stop watching it all these years later.
Watching this live at the stadium was to perfect!!! Go Irish!!
Erick Espinoza gu
ONLY .......If Weis had a DEFENSE !
Ah, Charlie, Brady, Jeff.. the good old days
Good? Really..
@ that’s how you can tell he’s not a real fan
Charlie was terrible. Sorry not a true ND fan
Both coaches each side…
Not winners at top level
Honestly, Charlie had some flaws but after David and Willingham, Charlie definitely brought hope back…with the recruiting mess he had to deal with alone I think he did better than he’s given credit for.

QUINN TO SHARK...AWESOME!!
The Shark. Playmaker. Huge swag. Love that guy.
Irish had no business winning that game, but Quinn delivered!
Love the name of this Video!!! This was such a great game!! Man do i miss these guys!!
I was there. I’ll never forgot how that stadium erupted! Been to more games than I can count. But this one was one of the most memorable.
9 year old me was in the other end zone when this play happened. I’ll always remember having to stand on top of the bleachers because I couldn’t see over the people in front of me. Man! Great memory.
Samardzija was a stud!
Jeff Samardzija is the Starting Pitcher for the Chicago cubs.
This was my first ND game I attended
i was sitting in the endzone jeff scored in, it was so loud you couldnt hear yourself scream.
I was at that game. The Bruins gave us a shot and we capitalized. ☘️☘️

Glad you got your shit together brother. The only reason I'm not dead or in prison a few times over is luck
Brady Quinn for president
I miss Brady… when they played usc in 2005 I thought that that was the best game I’ve ever seen then when Texas vs usc that was the best game I ever seen !!

I Remember watching this live
Never gets old

If only they had a defense like the past couple years
I remember this.
Shark!
Go IRISH!!!!!!
Could you imagine the crowd
If I was a Ucla fan I would be hanging from piano wire at this point.
I get goosbumps every single time I see 83 score...
this is what the nfl scouts need to see. could troy smith do this? doubtful.
Tha goddamn shark
this is still the only time i've heard that old lady Pat Hammond sound like he doesn't hate Notre Dame. speaking of which can we PLEASE get someone else up there calling the games PPPPPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE
thurs he makes his first start about time!!!
Tom Hammond gets a lot of flak, and deservedly so, for being a subpar play-by-play guy, but in this situation, his play-by-play was excellent.
This is what I think of when they say "prevent defense"
what about the two passes before that and the pump fake on the td pass?
just to let you know ND won that game. there was no time on the clock. ND won that game.
I miss this commentator so much. You can hear in his voice he is a true fan. Unlike now. Mike tirico and “here’s a guy who knows a thing about Hail Marys” doug flutie 🤮

2023
no you arent ND, we are
yea but what about when notre dame had a huge win streak of USC. dont take this personally but get your facts straight before you talk trash. its been both ways in this rivalry. not a notre dame fan but notre damn will be back. and if your a usc fan dont cry when you are the ass
It is called 'The Decade of Dominance'. USC went through a couple of head coaches.
HAHAHAHAH.
Hey, that reminds me of 1975. Matt Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett with about a minute left. Then Leinart to Bush, and finally Leinart scores on the QB keeper!
USC wins 34-31. The Irish are humiliated, once again, in front of the home crowd.
I guess you meant 2005......
We are ND. It's SO EMBARRASSING! I wore my ND sweatshirt to school and all the kids were laughing at me. My Mom sent away for a UCLA sweatshirt; it should be here any day now, all the way from California!
Irish eyes are still cryin' about that one! What about:
2002. USC 44 - nd 13
2003. USC 45 - nd 14
2004. USC 41 - nd 10
2005. USC 31 - nd 34 (Thanks, Reggie!)
2006. USC 44 - nd 24
2007. USC 38 - nd 0 (at home!)
2008. USC 38 - nd 3
We are ND. It's so embarrassing.
That bullshit been over with
Meetings total 93
All-time series Notre Dame leads, 48-37-5 (.561)
Trophy series Notre Dame leads, 33-30-3 (.523)
Largest victory Notre Dame, 51-0 (1966
I think the best player in Irish history was Crock O'Shit.
Or was it 2005? Oh, well, we've lost so many times to the TROJANS I can't remember! WE SUCK!!!
We are ND.
ND RULES!!!
UCLAs GAY!!!
