By pure luck Notre Dame and LSU have had a nice little run as the two have met six times since 1997. A few of those have ended in some thrilling finishes, most recently the Capital One Bowl win with Miles Boykin snagging the game-winning touchdown reception from Ian Book late in the fourth quarter.
Notre Dame is going to re-air another classic Notre Dame/LSU contest on Saturday night as they’ll be showing their 1998 win over the Tigers at Notre Dame Stadium.
Notre Dame was ranked tenth in the nation and on the cusp of a BCS berth if they could knock off LSU and USC in the final couple weeks of the year. For those that don’t recall, this game featured:
- Four combined returns for touchdowns
- Eventual bust Abram Booty having a moment in the sun as the highly regarded recruit goes off for 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
- A Notre Dame win that finished with one of the dumber things Bob Davie ever did on the Irish sideline
You can check that all out here on Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. ET as Notre Dame and LSU do battle again 22 years later. It was an all-time strange one that ended in victory but man alive was it a strange way to get there.
