1991 Orange Bowl #1 Colorado vs #5 Notre Dame No Huddle

Thanks Taft!

I remember wanting the Irish to win and getting so excited I was running around after the Rocket punt return that my brother and my mom thought I put money down on the Irish to win.
 
I watched it in a restaurant where we ate dinner after watching the DAWGS destroy Iowa in the Rose Bowl thinking what if UW had scored from first and goal at Colorado. Or hadn't choked out against UCLA

The lost natty
 
One of the weaker national champions

down there with 2007 LSU

One step above 1984 BYU but arguably second worst after that. Beaten, tied, and rescued by the fifth down.
 
We were in our hotel room in Diamond Bar after the long drive back from Pasadena.

Back just in time to see Rocket win it… then not.

I think we were still trying to get out of the rose bowl parking lot as that game was wrapping up.
