1990: ND vs. Tennessee - Rocket TD

[TheHolloway1983]

That's why I love the college game. It beats the snot out of the buttoned down, no personality show that the NFL put on every Sunday... and Monday... Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Will you let the man pray after his score

This was when ND had studs, played any team anytime anywhere and was in the championship hunt every year.

Now they are a joke....I guess Charlie Weis is a genius..At getting paid.

I think it's awesome that in 1990, Notre Dame was running the Power T formation. We need to bring back the Power T and the Wishbone. Bring 'em back!

@Kevy1231 The latest use of the Power T by a top-flight college football program that I am aware of was Notre Dame in 1992 against Penn State.

UT defenders took bad, bad angles on this play for a guy like Rocket who is so fast. I remember this play and breathtaking display of speed. I searched youtube specifically for this one play. Wow.

Rocket was headaches for the NCAAA back in the day. ND was so prestigous in those days, bench warmers used to get drafted high. Some of my favorites players from ND are Jerome Bettis,Raghib Ismail,Reggie Brooks.

Tennessee used to have TURF in Neyland Stadium?

When did they add the grass?

[OrigLanceR]

1993 i think they added grass

Man its been a long time since ND has been good!!

[IAforND]

You mean good or good enough to beat Tennessee?

Both. I had tickets to that game but the TSSAA football playoff game was rained out Friday night so I had to work the game that night and watch this game at a friend's home, instead. Instead, I had to watch ND lose Hentrich and the game in South Bend the next year.

Yeah, I think 2006...lol!!
