#14

Today we have another oldie but a goodie. Goin back a little more to 1995 at the Horseshoe as Ohio State hosts Notre Dame, the first time the teams played each other in about 60 years. They had played twice, and the Fighting Irish had won both times, and pretty handily. Now they face each other again in front of what was then a record crowd at Ohio Stadium, a crowd that I was actually a part of. I also found out later that Stephanie's grandfather had attended the last time the teams met, so that was kinda cool.

Now to the play at hand. One huge part of OSU's high-powered offense in '95 was receiver Terry Glenn. He was kind of an oddity; not only for his incredible speed and acrobatic catches, but also because he came out of nowhere, played one year, then left for the NFL where he disappeared again. But holy crap, was that a good year for him. Here's just one example...



You've also gotta love this clip for the Regis element.

The teams would play each other again the next year, and the Bucks would again defeat the Irish, tying them at 2 wins apiece. The tie-breaker game would come in 2006 at the Fiesta Bowl. But we'll see more on that later.
