If you’ve got no plans on Friday or heck, even if you do and you’re looking for something to watch later on, tune in or set your DVR tonight as Notre Dame’s Fiesta Bowl win over West Virginia will air at 7 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.
Tony Rice led the way for Notre Dame in what remains their last national championship clincher. He finished with a few huge passes, completing seven of 11 attempts for 213 yards and two touchdowns.
Happy #FiestaFriday! 🏈🎉@NBCSports will televise two of our national championship games TONIGHT!

So if you don’t have plans this Friday night then now you do or at least can. What’s always weird to me about this game is that as Zorich kind of says in his video, because of the Michigan, Miami and USC games that year, the national championship win over West Virginia feels like the third or fourth most memorable game in my mind.
