Happy Monday and for the first time in a few weeks now we can say it’s welcome back to game week for No 5 Notre Dame (2-0) who returns to action this Saturday against un-ranked Florida State (1-2).
When you think Notre Dame and Florida State there are a handful of memories that come to mind but even before the ridiculous flag for a pick-play in 2014 or even Arnaz Battle’s touchdown and celebratory chop in 2012, there was the Game of the Century in 1993.
That day in mid-November saw No. 1 Florida State travel to No. 2 Notre Dame for one of the most anticipated games in the history of college football.
We’ll remember that game and a few other memories of the Notre Dame/Florida State series during the week but who remembers who NBC started the telecast for that Game of the Century?
If you don’t recall then take the next couple of minutes and relive it now as we get ready for No. 5 Notre Dame and Florida State this Saturday night in South Bend.

Even if it isn’t No.1 vs. No. 2 this weekend this “helmet game” between two of college football’s most recognizable brands is one you dream of when you’re playing a pickup game in your backyard as a kid.
And a fun fact – the high school that intro was filmed at is New Canaan, Connecticut, the same high school current Notre Dame freshman quarterback Drew Pyne attended.
