In this clip, with the Irish trailing 16-9, Bettis receives a pass from Rick Mirer in the endzone to make it 16-15 with under a minute to play. Mirer then connects with Reggie Brooks on the two-point conversion for the win.
That 2-point conversion is eerily similar to Montana to Clark (The Catch). Brooks's catch isn't quite as spectacular as Clark's, but Mirer is scrambling to the sideline like Joe and heaves it to the corner of the end zone where no defender can get to it. Great plays.
@NDIrishfan93 Huh? You mean security doesn't let them flood the field? Or the team doesn't give them a reason to?
Despite the rough start, I still have faith in Brian Kelly...and I think you'll see some field storming in a couple years.

They would, if Notre Dame would win a big game at home every decade or so.
I was at the USC-ND game in 2005, and had ND pulled it out, no one would've been able to prevent the stands from emptying.

i bet if notre dame ran that play ten more times, penn state could not cover that in their sleep.

Too bad Notre Dame won't let fans flood the field now.
