University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish Collector's Edition
From coast-to-coast and generation to generation, the proud tradition of Notre Dame football has been built by celebrated players and historic performances. This 8-DVD set includes seven complete classic Notre Dame victories:
Vol. 1—1977 "the Green Jersey Game" vs. USC
When the Irish charged the field to meet the USC Trojans, clad for the first time in green jerseys, tradition was turned aside. Led by Joe Montana, Notre Dame won 49-19.
Vol. 2—1978 Cotton Bowl vs. Texas
Commanding performances by Joe Montana, Jerome Heavens, and Vagas Ferguson propelled the team from number five in the polls to national champions after this impressive 38-10 victory.
Vol. 3—1979 Cotton Bowl vs. Houston
Joe Montana and a surging defense rallied the Irish in below zero wind chill weather. This heart-stopping, final second 35-34 victory instantly became one of college football's most memorable comebacks.
Vol. 4—1988 Regular Season game vs. Miami
Miami started the game with a 36-game regular-season winning streak and a menacing defense. However, it was the Notre Dame defense that forced seven turnovers to secure a 31-30 win.
Vol. 5—1989 Fiesta Bowl vs. West Virginia
Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz used the press to solidify the belief that the Irish had their hands full with the mighty West Virginia defense. But it was Notre Dame that supplied the defense while Irish quarterback Tony Rice passed for over 200 years and two touchdowns in the 34-21 victory.
Vol. 6—1992 "The Snow Bowl" vs. Penn State
In their last home game, three players led a brilliant Irish comeback in the swirling snow of Notre Dame Stadium. With 20 seconds on the clock, Rick Mirer's touchdown pass to Jerome Bettis set up the winning two-point conversion from Mirer to Reggie Brooks. The Irish won, 17-16.
Vol. 7—1993 Regular Season Game vs. Florida State
After top-ranked Florida State scored early, the Irish pounded the Seminoles defense for 239 rushing yards and four touchdowns. The stout Notre Dame defense held tight to preserve a 31-24 victory and end Florida State's 16-game winning streak.
Bonus Disc—1966 vs. Michigan State (Second Half)
This disc features the only surviving footage of the historic contest between the #1 ranked Irish and the #2 Spartans. Punctuated by a tactical decision by Ara Parseghian, the game (a 10-10 tie) and his strategy remain much debated.
Color and B&W. 8 discs Approx. 20 hrs, 31 mins. plus extras.
