I was at the game the last time you ventured into MS. You lost the game but won the NC that year.

That loss was probably the best thing to happen to that team; we wouldn't have won the title without it. Joe motherFing Montana was third string and didn't even travel with the team down to Jackson. It exposed how putrid Devine's offenses were without playmakers. He traveled with the team the next week to Purdue...the starter got hurt wen ND was down 2 touchdowns and Montana came in. ND came back and won. We blasted through most of the rest of the schedule...Michigan State, #5 USC, Georgia Tech, Clemson in Death Valley, Miami in the Orange Bowl, and then Texas in the Cotton Bowl. All because Devine got lucky enough that Rusty Lisch got hurt.
